The first paragraph reminds me of the "UNABOMber manifesto" which I also
found interesting. As a leftist myself I think the politics related parts of
it are laughably misguided however but his points about the nature of
technological advance seem pretty spot on to me. Also I generally don't

I do not know. I only encrypt /home (one box to click in Trisquel's graphical
installer). I have not changed the system on a specific machine for many
years: I now always install Trisquel when I buy it and then upgrade to
Trisquel's next versions, when released. I guess it must not be hard

I think we can ask people to consider buying a more freedom-respecting
computer but if they are not in a position to do so then we have to consider
the "least worst" alternative until they are able to.
I don't think it is a fork. It us using Trisquel packages so is more like a
respin. Which is good, because they didn't have to go to all that effort to
make a brand new distribution.

You should ideally just make a separate /home partition so that it is less
likely that your data will be lost if root goes berserk.
And it makes it easier to install another GNU/Linux system while keeping the
user data: to do so, indicate the installer that the existing partition is
