I remember that a fix to some computers not powering off after you tell them
to shut down is to add a acpi_osi=X parameter to Linux in grub.
Apparently X can be *leave blank*, Linux, Windows.
Remember to update-grub after you change the config.
Perhaps we could induce this condition.
In a similar vein perhaps worth trying issudo shutdown -H
(Note the H is capitalized!)
So we should not do anything hardware-wise until we can change Apple's
politics? Am I the one being too optimistic here?!

You can remove the 3.13 kernels. One single kernel is enough (assuming you
are sure it boots!). The package manager would prevent you from removing all
kernel images.
It is normal: by default, GRUB is configured to always use the latest kernel
image and 'sudo update-grub' is automatically run after you install such an
image.
The headers are indeed optional (and not installed by default, in Trisquel 7
at least). I think they are useless unless you compile modules for the
kernel.
Yes, but makes little sense to take that away when a better product comes
along.
X200 won't be less free when that happens, so if it deserved the RYF why take
it away? truth is, and you can see the link I posted above, these computers

Let's compare like Nokia 3310 and Samsung Galaxy S2 (two, with replicant and

will be just fine.

I see no reason why the 3.4 image would stop booting.
"triskel" and "trisquel-base" are meta-packages: they only are a convenient
way to refer to bunch of packages (their dependencies) altogether. Removing
meta-packages do not lead to removing any actual program.
The only drawback (that can be seen as an advantage too) is that you would

Ok, so what is the causing the removal of Gnome and KDE? I am a novice at

You're confusing two things.
If you uninstall package A and it says it needs to remove also package B it
means package B depends on package A. (Yes, there are some very strange
dependencies... and metapackages.)
Synaptic's remove completely option means that you uninstall a package and
