Reinstall Trisquel as it is. avoid using the linux-libre kernel, this kernel
is not that well supported.
In my opinion is just a shaby kernel. Use the main one from trisquel cd

From reading this I get the feeling of "LibreWRT is old and crusty - Come use
LibreCMC." LibreWRT's goal isn't "only support old stuff." Help on LibreWRT
is always welcome. That's always been the case. For some reason one of the
people involved in LibreWRT got the impression that their work w
Yes- Like LibreWRT LibreCMC has taken OpenWRT and ripped out a ton of code.
At the moment that's about all it is. However if there is demand and people
contributing there is a lot of potential for the router and other devices or
types of devices. Particularly ones that are freedom-oriented.
It is believed that there may be some software patent issues related to Mono,
so the general advice is to avoid using it where possible.

IIRC, EME support is not necessarily non-free. Of course, the purpose of EME
is to allow DRM integration, but this is not something technically defined by
EME itself, i.e. it is /possible/ for free EME plugins.
A better way to solve this issue might be to stop Trisquel web browsers from

I just have a cheap router but liberating my router is my next goal after my
PC. Is this based on DD-WRT or is it something different? I imagine DD-WRT
has binary blobs in it's kernel? Is this a distro that takes those out or is
this something different?
Hello folks,
I have a question regarding Chromium. As I develop a few websites and whatnot
I have a range of browser on my system to test with. One of which is
Chromium. As I'm using Debian, while they do a semi-decent job to keep
non-free parts out of the OS, browsers, like Ice Weasel sugge

You can tether via Bluetooth, Wifi and USB, however I'm not sure how easy USB
tethering would be with most devices as I'm not sure if the drivers are
available. Wifi should work though if the device supports it.
I thought I'd also mention that one of the original and lead developers
(ex-developers) of LibreWRT founded LibreCMC and is also our CTO. If that
makes any sense in regards to the 'modern' comment above. One of the goals of
the project is to keep it up to date (more bleeding edge). Something
LibreWRT only supports one? or maybe two older routers that aren't available
on the market.
The *key* thing here is this router ships with 100% free software, will be
RYF certified (shortly), will be funding LibreCMC development, and is
commercially available. No other commercially available router on the market
ships with or runs a 100% free OS right now. If we get LibreCMC off the

Yes I meant LibreWRT.
Libreboot isn't a distro; it's a free version of Coreboot. You probably meant

How is the router any different from this one?

This router has an Atheros card supported by a free driver. Is there a reason
Libreboot or any other free distro hasn't been ported to it?
