Rubén actually did that already with Trisquel 5.5. I think it was a hack of Gnome pieces though for the fallback. I'm not involved in the development aspect of Trisquel and haven't done development really for a long time (well, I occasionally file bug reports, and work on customising a

I've all but confirmed that there is no way to avoid Intel Insider in 3rd generation CPUs and 2nd generation i3. The above two CPUs are for embedded systems. I've only checked mobile CPUs. For mobile CPUs I can confirm the Intel B940 will work though if you want to avoid Intel Insider and

Thanks for looking into this, Chris, and for your suggestion about the B940. I think Intel must have been updating/correcting their database for the information about their chips on the Intel webpage this past couple of days. I have been making enquiries, too and details on the webpage have

If there was more demand we could offer a 15.6 model with a 1920x1080 screen. It would be a 16:9 ratio and not 16:10 or 4:3. The entertainment industry killed 16:10 and 4:3 ratios so we can't do them now. We are limited by what others in the industry are also demanding to some degree. There

There is absolutely no way to produce a laptop based on x86 technology that is perfect. Everything is a compromise. Intel and AMD's tech is incorporating digital restrictions in the CPU. At least for the moment you can avoid proprietary graphics drivers by going with Intel and still get a

Looks like you need to edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and change the startup on line which reads [!06] to [!026] so the default runlevel 2 is also omitted. If you then want to start gdm use sudo service gdm start.

Ruben didn't include Unity with the 5.5 ISO and when we tried to install it manually, it would not show up in LightDM or GDM selections. Kinda odd and when someone of us asked for a fix, there were crickets. I do know what you mean though by including both Unity 2D and Unity 3D with the

I don't consider TXT to really be a deciding factor. I think having a system that works with free software is the number one priority. TXT is avoidable and so we should avoid it. However the handful of users who are avoiding the technology are not relevant to Intel. It's just too small a

For the Trisquel project to thrive (and everybody here hopes it will!), it needs *new* users, i.e., most people who will use Trisquel in 4-6 do not even know about it now (they may not even know about the GNU/Linux operating system). By imposing specific hardware to run the default Trisquel,
