Something along the lines of

Intel GMA is an old integrated graphics line from Intel. Their current
integrated graphics is Intel HD, and it's just as good in terms of
compatibility (presumably better in terms of performance).
It is very difficult to find free software compatible hardware, one that runs
with fully free distros like Trisquel.

Hi everyone ! I am interested in installing Unity, my GPU is not supported,
so I guess I have to install Unity 2D instead of 3D, until I get a supported
GPU.
How can I do that ?
Bravo! It was great.
But "advice" is uncountable. It's better to use "great pieces of advice"
instead of "many advices" ;)
You can get a cheap netbook that is supported by Trisquel. You can find such
models using h-node and you can test Trisquel in a shop (that's what I did).
Note that a model might be listed as supported but might be sold with
different parts, so it is best to test it before buying.
