You are right it was set to never and so I changed it to "for any new version". I have reset my computer and went to the update manager again and clicked reset but there is still no button to upgrade to trisquel 7 and the update list is still blank.

Easy way. Log in. Try Alt+F2 and press R for restart. If it works its Xorg.

It must be Xorg. I actually use GDM as a display manager. However I used to use LightDM (or was it on Trisquel 6?). I switched to GDM to: get a "lock screen" button in the menu; get notification on that lock screen (configurable from "Brightness & Lock" in the "System Settings").

Your system is probably configured to "never" "notify of a new version of Trisquel". If so, change that configuration in the "Updates" tab of "Software & Updates" in the "System Settings".

Use as much Free Software as possible but an older system, Core 2 Due, works great. If you can't get a Libreboot system use as much Free software as you can. Use a FULLY free OS, graphics and WIFI, and enjoy. Yes 80% is better than 20%. Plenty of laptops out there to be 100%. Just go for it.

Also, interestingly, the [A]GPL (at least since version 2) has *implied* patent grant and which is way more precise than most patent grants, see [1]. Basically, something under GPL 2 (or even GPL 2+, GPL 3 or GPL 3+, whatever) will also allow the licensee/receiver to make use of that patented
