I suspect you'll be in for a long wait. Though it would be great to see it become a stand alone distro. I'd do it myself but I wouldn't know where to start and would almost certainly quickly come up against things that were orders of magnitude above my current knowledge level. Time was that

Might I add that the trackball works with Blag, and Blag does not have the flickering. I think that perhaps my current install of Trisquel has an older version of the Linux Libre kernel and I need to install a more recent one.

sudo apt-get install thunderbird is one way. Or you can use a GUI package manager, like Synaptic. The Thunderbird in Trisquel should not recommend you non-free stuff. Please alert us if it does however. There is a bug about the rebranding https://trisquel.info/en/issues/6456

My largest set of PDFs is 80 files. In that set, some PDFs are as big as ~20 mb, some are only ~500 kb. In the newest version of pdf-page-grep, the number of matching pages is restricted to 1021 right? I can search my PDFs in smaller groups if this is the case.

Again: no, the newest version has no restriction on the number of matching pages. I switched back to the faster solution with 'pdfjam' (the eponymous package must be installed) and that solves as well the problem you were facing: http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/utilities.html#pdf-page-grep

Yes, systemd is fast but that's primarily just a side-effect of doing things right. No it's not. It's because systemd does things differently to the old way of booting. It might be a better way, but it's not right versus sysvinit which was wrong. This is 5 year old runaway ego type stuff.
