Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...

Greasemonkey is an addon which enables you to run custom javascript in your browser. It does just that. To enable the ViewTube script you go to that website and click on install. After that, you could go to youtube and you will be presented a screen similar to the one on that screenshot on

Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...

The default, where you have a button "Click to play" is Gnash, the reverse-engineered Flash. As any reverse-engineered project it is not on par with the original software. It is kept as default for the following reasons (or at least make sense as being reasons): Youtube uses it by default,

Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...

The reason you would go with Trisquel over Linux Mint is that Trisquel is completely free. The more people who use free distribution, promote freedom, contribute financially, etc the easier GNU/Linux gets. Non-free pieces like flash are nice but using them puts the community at the mercy of A

You can choose KDE-and-not-GNOME when installing from a net-install ISO (I believe the option is named "triskel", with a 'k' instead of 'qu'), or you can install it later (by "apt-get install kde-standard", I think). In the last case, when installing kdm, you will be asked which Display Manag

Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.

True enough, a risk-taker like Canonical, with the larger world more concerned about standards and stability, could give us all some "hybrid vigor". But I maintain that GNOME 3 Shell >= Unity. Many/most of the things that are good about Unity apply to GNOME 3 also.

The Trisquel kernel will not load the free firmware. It is blacklisted. Yours is working because it is the non-free kernel. Though it would work the same once the blacklisting is removed on the free kernel. The driver code in the kernel is free already.

You're on to something there e.g. does including WINE for running Windows apps inside GNU/Linux qualify as "recommending"? Well, that's a borderline case, since most but not ALL Windows apps are proprietary. Should we assume that the user will inevitably use it to run nonfree ones?
