where do i start? ok let's start gently with a *few* choice stories.

I recently tried Parabola GNU/Linux live. There was Elinks installed by
default. That's a brave browser, a tool for the courageous CLI addicts.
ok i got it to work!
bear in mind this is parabola gnu/linux-libre, i had to install:
pacman -S xorg-xrandr xorg-util-macros xorg-server-devel xorg-utils libtool
automake
and then the remaining instructions worked fine. so, i have the fbturbo xorg
driver now installed, it's being used, it
I recently tried Parabola, downloaded an ISO, burned it to a DVD±RW with
growisofs.
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/rcd0c=/path/to/image
I tried to take screenshots but there was an error about not finding a file
or folder or invalid path, something to that effect.
I discovered a new for me
The fact that it's based off of Google's Chrummium Browser is enough for me
to stay away.
Brave is open source according to website.
Look at the respective Github repositories. Brave for Windows, Mac, Gnu/Linux
is MPL v2.
...
Has anyone tested Brave Browser? How free is it?

> Is the bios completely free
yes. actually it's not a bios, it's u-boot. the A20 processor is what's
called "unbrickable" - it was designed that way by allwinner - the first
thing it does on power-up is look to see if MicroSD card slot 0 (mmc0) has an
SD-card in it. if it does, it
Is the bios completely free and does it support, 64 bit linux distros?
Also, is there an option for full disk encryption, if enough of these
questions are true I may wait for this device and save up.

okay so you can get an xorg driver that supports the 2D acceleration engine
(G2D) which if you switch to 16bpp makes things pretty damn quick. so it's
not like you're stuck with raw (slw) fbdev-only.
hmmm, i think i'll try that out with the
You're right, sorry, they came out on the same day.
The difference between Tor Browser and IceCat is that Tor Browser is getting
security updates while IceCat has seized to, so, IceCat is late while Tor
Browser is prompt.
It's actually more complicated. There is some stuff that is accelerated via
hardware in relation to the graphics utilizing the free software stack. My
concern was limited to RYF certification, and I don't recall the details of
it, but basically there are different pieces that do different
yup, that was me. my point about phoning up ARM is: never underestimate the
power of crowds. one person phoning up is a nuisance - a mosquito that can
be slapped away. but have you ever seen what happens if you pour petrol onto
a tire at night and set fire to it in the middle of a jungle?
the summary is - and this surprised me to find out exactly what the FSF's
rules are - that basically average end-users must not be accidentally tricked
into running proprietary software (which could potentially end up spying on
them), for example like in Debian GNU/Linux you run synaptics,
So there are elements that you can't print yourself because the technology to
do so doesn't exist. The casework can be printed though. There are also plans
to release the PCBs, but this is ultimately less important. There are certain
minimum thresholds that have to be met to get these pieces
remember that you can also download the casework CAD files (as a python
program) and 3D-print up replacement parts too... :)

"That email you quoted is from Chris."
Just as a point of order to correct the record: The message in question was
forwarded by Koz Ross and seems to have originally been written by lkcl (Luke
Leighton), not Chris. Although Chris was CC'd on the message.
Not with free software, no.
As far as 3D goes the situation is not perfect. Like the LibreBoot laptops
there are components which are not fully supported. There are no proprietary
bits needed to boot however and the desktop environment doesn't require it.
There is some hardware acceleration though so you can watch
Ok, will it have 3-D acceleration? I really want to know.
I'm using the default Trisquel Gnome fallback DE.
I have a compton.conf file in /etc and the things you wrote are there
(scattered around the document between much more text).
Yes! :D This helped! Thank you!!
As far as the screen tearing, on Xfce I solved it using compton compositor
and it works great and it's lightweight and smooth.
backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";
put that in compton.conf in /home
About fsf you are right. Writing that phoning arm will make them release
source software is like negotiating intel to do the same thing.
That email you quoted is from Chris. So, that's what he would answer. Or
rather, what he did answer.
Note that getting RYF certification does not require 3-D to be working. Also
note that the page says the Libre Tea will be RYF certified before it is sent
out, and if that doesn't happen,
Nice going Chris; thank you.
If you never type Chinese or Japanese or Korean or Vietnamese or Thai or ...
characters, then choose no keyboard input method system in the "Language" tab

Hello!
I installed Trisquel for 3D work and I'm using double monitor set-up.
I'm having issues with screen tearing (like when vsync don't work in games).
The problem shows up when I move windows around, when scrolling content up
and down, when watching videos etc.

Indeed, Allwinner A20 system-on-chips use Mali for graphics.
So, no 3D acceleration, but as far as I know you can use 2D without blobs due
to the Lima driver.
It's really annoying but it's the best we have.
This seems like a cool idea. The crowdsupply presentation seems to indicate
even the hardware designs will be GPL'd:
"you will always be able to repair your own EOMA68 devices by 3D printing
replacement casework parts; you will always have access to the source code
and the PCB CAD files."
I don't seem to see any information on the graphics part of things. I am
concerned that something like Mali may be in use. Can you please speak to
that?
Keep up the good work mate Chris! +1
OK, I definitely want to back this. I would have backed this if it was just a
freedom-respecting computer, but a freedom-respecting computer and this
really nice modular approach? There's no way I can not back this!
Don't forget: entries to the contest are due tonight. Make sure you send your
entries to onp...@riseup.net by then. :)
