Good call ;)
The goal you perceive as important gives light to the route to take. I
think that you perceive this as a pep talk. Nevertheless, it is the way
to see your problem so that you don't "run nowhere fast".
When you manifest your interest in installing a distro that uses
non-free software it shows that
It's modern. LibreWRT is based on a very old code base that isn't compatible
with routers out today. LibreCMC is.
What's the difference between this distro and libreWRT?
We're almost finished with a new free software embedded distribution called
LibreCMC. We're also testing it against a few routers. One router in
particular will be supported commercially. It's not yet RYF certified yet
although should be in short order.

Thanks for that. I installed the Saucy enablement stack but it utterly broke
the system haha. Black screen, I could hear Orca come up but I couldn't even
get to a console. So back to square one again, gotta reinstall. The farthest
I got was with the linux-libre repo.
Saucy has 3.11, but if it doesn't work, jxself said he's working on the LTS
enablement stack from Trusty.
Just a curious sidenote getting back to the real issue. The installer of
Trisquel actually shows, that is how I can install trisquel (I don't use any
text based installer, not sure if there even is one?), however, it boots to
console after installing until updating the kernel. It also boots t
Wow, lots of relies. Let's start top to bottom haha. :)

I am sure it is possible to download the whole map onto your computer, but
that would be enormous, probably several hundred gigabytes.
Try the LTS enablement stack from saucy. Simply run:
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends
{linux-generic,xserver-xorg,libgl1-mesa-glx}-lts-saucy
I should point out that the FSF expresses no interest in developing its own
distro:

Quick Side note regarding the kernel version. The ValleyView drivers were
included in Linux Kernel 3.11, so ubuntu 14.04's kernel and The Linux-Libre
kernel in jxself's repo has the driver. It's just a matter of setting it up I
have no idea how.
I'd like a debian based system like Ubuntu, Trisquel or Debian itself (I
cannot boot Debian otherwise I would use Debian since they do a better job
separating free from non-free) but I couldn't get it to boot UEFI, and this
PC has not "legacy" bios mode, it's EFI or nothing.

Sure, Ubuntu can be used in freedom, it's just not like that by default.
Everything in the Main and Universe repositories is supposed to be
free/libre, but keep in mind that proprietary firmware and proprietary fonts
exist in the Main repository (because of how Canonical defines "software" an
Intel Chips do work in freedom, including the one I have, unfortunately
Trisquel and all the other distros do not seem to keep up with hardware
support. Bummer, I'm going to have to install Ubuntu 14.04. Perhaps I can
remove some non-free packages after? At least it works and is better than
There should be a way (besides waiting for Trisquel 7) to make that Intel
graphical chipset work in freedom.
I would try to install the Saucy graphical stack. Those are the packages
(e.g., listed by Synaptic) ending with "-saucy" but the ones also starting
with "linux-" (you already got the
