Your laptop has an AMD GPU, there are known suspend issues with them. TuxOnIce changes the device-independent code for suspend (I don't know the details), it probably won't fix this problem. I don't know what's exactly needed for hibernation, I think it should work regardless of what

I think that the current look, the gtk theme is really beautiful. The icons in the indicator panel applet changed and now they have a modern look. Probably with an update of some other icons, of the default wallpaper and perhaps the panel's default color, Trisquel 7 will be really perfect.

Great, thank you Legimet. Now the next question is if somebody managed to install it on Trisquel 6.0.1. I tried to install it like it says in the readme file, but I couldn't do it. Trisquel doesn't meet the requirements that Corebird needs (some old dependencies that can't be replaced

Because it uses LXDE, Trisquel-Mini requires very little RAM. 256 MB is sufficient. I doubt GNOME Flashback (with some heavy applications running, say Abrowser + LibreOffice) would properly run with less than 768 MB.

You know, if Trisquel is so concerned about Accessibility I think it's a bit of a waste that the main site doesn't market it as such.

Actually, to be fair, nothing on the front page really promotes Trisquel. The closest thing to it is the description that Trisquel is a fully free operating system which I'd find uninteresting were it not for my interest in going fully free. I reckon it'd be more attractive if the front

I agree: I would like the normal edition to use GNOME Shell. I know how to get it (two packages to install). I am more thinking of new users for whom the defaults matter. Trisquel Mini has its users. I have more doubts regarding Trisquel Sugar or even Triskel (although I believe a separate

I think Cinnamon would be better. Or GNOME Shell but make it RHEL's-Distrowatch-screenshot-esque (Or GNOME Classic but perhaps with the panel on top, Cairo-dock on the bottom setup). Vanilla GNOME Shell would take new users for too much of a spin, I think. Though if Trisquel puts a welcome

I think Triskel is basically abandoned. It's just a metapackage with no custom settings. If you install the triskel package, the package manager doesn't even work because polkit-kde-1 isn't installed. Also, until I submitted a patch, Abrowser looked really ugly in KDE with the default Oxygen

The easy way to do it is by running apt-get source linux-generic-lts-trusty to download the source, then patching it (patch -pn ...), and finally building it (dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc). You will get some *.deb packages which you can install. I'm not familiar with TuxOnIce, but you might
