The less tech savvy will simply install software from the "store" that comes
pre-installed on the device. Very few will install alternative "stores" like
F-Droid unless a tech savvy relative helps out.
Yup, you can install whatever you want on a jailbroken iPhone. Just like the
Android phones, anyone can void their warranty to throw whatever they want on
those little devices.

root or jailbreak their Verizon phone
You can install non-approved software on Apple phones and tablets if you
jailbreak. You can even install a port of Android:

What makes you think F-Droid isn't maintained? I get updates, see new

As far as I understand, 'sudo' is called by 'gksu', itself called by the
application requiring administrative privileges (and, yes, these privileges
are definitely needed to install *any* program, i.e., to write in folders
such as /usr that must be owned by root:root). The variable

I heard Cinnamon is coming out with a fallback option like Ubuntu 2D that
doesn't require potentially non-free video drivers. Someone also mentioned
MATE but that is seen as a temporary solution.
I'm still itchin for that trisquel-unity package though with Unity 2D :-)
While it is true that their implementation is "non-free" and Android itself
has a lot of proprietary code, users can at least install software outside of
the Google Play store. I can use F-Droid or directly install an APK file
without touching the Play market. Try doing that with an Apple pro
Screw Apple for destroying the competition. I've sworn off their products for
a while but I enjoy the fact that I can swear off all proprietary products in
general with Trisquel and only reward those technologies or products which I
seem excellent with any kind of financial exchange.

I used to be an Apple fanboy. Didn't know any better. I thoroughly despised
Microsoft. Now I despise them both ;). You can by the way probably make a
case that Apple is even worse than Microsoft in many aspects!
You could try GNU/Linux Mint instead. Just to let you know, we're not suppose
to discuss non-free software on this forum.
I usually update via apt-get, but I think the update manager only ask for
password when there is an 'important' system upgrade.
An Apple rotten to the core but people keep buying their products.

I am certainly not a fan of Apple, though I got an i-phone quite a while
back. I was very impressed by its Google maps function, at the time. I liked
being able to go online with it and search the internet, without having to
have a laptop with me. The one feature I liked about i-tunes is Geni

The different pages I found about the Xonar STX didn't show any external
dependencies. Also most standard soundcards I am aware of (even USB ones) do
not need any firmware.
I am pretty confident the card will work without issues.
May I ask what keeps your from testing Trisquel with the cards
Here are my few cents:
If you want full compatibility with best featureset under free license then
stick to Intel. In general Intel will be quite pricy compared to AMD CPUs.
Despite the big "stinko" master Torvalds has sent towards NVidia, they still
provide the best 3D performance, most sta
