I attempted to liberate the CHIP (which is only $9) a while back. I got stuck
due to my lack of knowledge of compiling a kernel, but maybe you can get
further with that than I did. You’ll need

I think there is something missing in your profile --- generally
"${HOME}/.profile", although some people prefer to edit "/etc/profile"
or also "${HOME}/.bashrc".
Here is my recommendations, in this order:
1. Remove the symlinks;
2. Open a text editor;
3. Open a terminal;
4. In the terminal,
Packages installed with Guix still don't feel "native", and they look funny.
The theme does not match the system theme.
Programs do not show up in menus without some symlinking, and even then, the
icons are blank.
The desktop doesn't recognize Guix programs in "Open with..." and Alt+F2.
What about olimex and banana pi?
ALSA is part of Linux, the kernel, so it is probably more common than the
optional sound server PulseAudio.
The Libre Tea Computer Card (65$) plus the Micro Desktop Housing (55$, which
you will not have to pay again when updating the card) is more expensive that
what you are looking for but it is more powerful too (in particular twice
more RAM) and includes 8 GB NAND for storage:
I am currently using a raspberry pi but it is non-free hardware and
firmware(bootcode) the software has binary blobs and the RPI foundation seems
to include licensed wolfram and java as default installed. Although there are
projects on reverse engineering bootcode to make it FLOSS but it
As far as I understand, Mozilla's main point is how these technologies
prevent Firefox's core from easily evolving, especially performance-wise.
An exception was made for Flash but it is easier to maintain NPAPI working
for Flash than for any plugin. That said, I had rather see Flash
No need to be sorry, i do the same..;-)
I presume it has to do that there is actually less people demanding for
tecnical help due to the fact that most Trisquel user's have had their T7
system up and running for a while and have solved their issues, so we tend to
have general discussions

This thread is very good, Doolio, Adfeno, made some interesting comments on
Guix, (with the Uruk script the install is cared for by the script.)

I still dont understand *what* Guix is, or *why* I would want to use it.
Until I understand these things, I have no motivation to struggle my way
through technical manuals. Please. Explain. Like. I'm. 5.
Sorry Mangy Dog, my bad. I'll do my best best to follow your suggestion.
NPAPI "plugins are a source of performance problems, crashes, and security
incidents":

Mozilla didn't remove the entire NPAPI code base. They still support Adobe
Flash. If the stability and security bothered them
Hi GD_Scania, I'm guessing from this post, as well as your comments on other
threads, that English is not your first language. Good on your for making the
effort to learn it so you can communicate with more people. However, I really
have no idea what this post is about. Can you repost with
This has been discussed before, and I'm aware that the people maintaining
this website and its forums probably have more pressing things to do with
their time (eg work on Trisquel 8 ;). However, for the record, I think it
would be good to have at least three forum areas:

In my considerable experience installing GNU-Linux for beginners migrating
off Windows, Mint is by far the best choice. It just works, on every piece of
hardware I've thrown it at. When a newbie has that kind of first experience -
a computer that works better when GNU-Linux is installed and
Keep your hair on Calher. There may be good reasons someone wants to start a
new project rather than join an existing one. A friendly suggestion to help
with an existing distro is fine. But it's just mean to tell people their
efforts to help free software are "harmful and helps nobody", or
