HURD will emerge as the second in the race and the shining trophy will go to
Trisquel. Who the also rans are, if any, I'm not sure. GnewSense?

While we are on the topic, when is the new GNU Hurd going to come out? There
has been a bit of a development lag and am looking forward to the next
iteration. It has been over a year I think. GNU HURD FTW!
It is probably not realistic to expect people to try out every single
package.

no words. Do you think you are
I'm sorry this happened again, Leah. Thanks so much for all of your hard
work. I'm glad that a variety of vendors can ethically distribute
freedom-respecting laptops that you made possible.

Zotis, I completely share your appreciation about Minifree business model
just caring about making profit.
I am not agaisnt that. But business can be made and should be made with nice
manners and not with bad business practices and as far as I am concerned, I
do not see any of them present
This is getting totally out of hand. Ridiculously predictable, though.
You call refund and free replacement "buying silence"?
A business has no other obligation. Leah has gone to great lengths to amend
her mistake and yet you fail to appreciate anything that she's been doing to
set things
Of course you did not refunded me and we do not want a refund now. We just
wanted to tell our experience. Are you able to deal with that once and for
all?

Hey All,
I compiled a list of packages that are in T7 from apt-list. Sadly, I haven't
been able to do much testing this week because I've had a few things come up.
If there's anyone interested out there in checking whether packages work
during the T8 upgrade process, it might be nice if we
Have to disagree on that policy, the whole point is Libre tech. If a company
is making false claims, such as they are Libre, and then turn out to be not
so Libre, we need to know. If someone is using blood CPU's. that is pretty
important. Remember, Richard Stallman got arrested by ATI (now a
Yes, this is really silly. If people have a customer grievance, then they
should really take it up in private.
It's not healthy for the free-software community to be backbiting each other
like this :-(
I literally do not defraud or deceive my customers.
I literally ship every order, or refund when requested.
The comments by this person and Tiberiu in this thread are blatant,
consistent, concentrated attacks against me.
I ship almost every order, in good time, and the products that I sell
No, I'm not and you are right, I'm sort of new in this forum (not first time
in a public forum, though). I just have been getting more and more nervous
about this conversation going nowhere and getting harmful, while at the same
time the conversation stopped being respectful at some point.
No answer? Very well:
Here's what happened: either you didn't ask for refund/repair/replacement, or
you did ask and I provided it.
Despite what you claim to the contrary, I didn't defraud or mistreat you
either. True, I messed up your order, I freely admit that, but what you've
said
Despite what you claim to the contrary, I serve most of my customers well.

No, I am sorry.
You are lying again about our order. That never happened.
Anybody would get paranoid with this amount of trashing. You make it sound
like she killed your pet dog.
Why don't you cut some slack and tell us if you're going to accept Minifree's
free replacement or not. I haven't seen you address that point so far, though
I haven't been looking

So your customers should in the future also expect you to call them trolls
among other things when you make a mistake with them? Wow, you are doing
better.
Please Leah, do not continue.
I just wanted to share a review with others and you are turning things worse
again and again. If the experience of my family was just one out of few
errors in the businesses trajectory of Minifree just face it and let people

I like cats.
Ruben the leader of the project, aka Quidam, has the final say. There are
moderators. David is one of them.

Who has final say so on these forums? Is that you? Who writes the policies

I just want the trolling, the FUD and the slander against Minifree to stop.
It has repeatedly been suggested, in this thread, that Minifree deceives its
customers and that it ships poor quality products and provides low quality
service.
These suggestions are 100% false.
Until today,
I'll say it once more: your order was a mistake. I rectified it as best i
could. You chose not to exercise your rights. You are still well within your
right to either receive a refund, repair or replacement of any faulty product
that you received.

Couldn't agree more with Supertrump83, this fight is pointless.
>I sincerely hope that people do not believe their statements about me
Well, I say I don't know neither one of you, for I never met you but I can
judge from waht one writes and does on this forum. When I come here I want to
share tips and learn about free software, and eventually joke. And
Hrm, this does not sound entirely fair. We regularly post (justified)
criticisms of entities like AMD, Intel, Nvidea, Lemote and the like. I do not
see why small entities should be excused. However, it can be done in a civil
manner. At this time, there is not much in the way of forums to
The problem is that you compare Minifree with Technoethical but you cannot
deal with a review of a customer making a real comparison between the two
companies.
According to my experience Technoethical is not sending laptops which are not
clean, written with tippex, without Bluethooth,
*savannah :P
:P
I request that all of Technoethical's posts in this thread be deleted, along
with any posts related to the dispute that I had with them. The negative
review against Minifree should be moved to a separate thread.
The threads promoting Technoethical should also be deleted. They are spam,
In fact, Technoethical (aka Tiberiu) posted on this very thread, threatening
Minifree legally.
Exactly. That is the way to go.
To someone else that wrote in this thread his/her experience with minifree
and to all the people that Leah or Technoethical will at some point ask for a
review... DON'T DO IT HERE. There is a thousand web pages where you can write
reviews about online shops,
Moreover, it's critical that his never happens again. I remember "them"
threatening with legal action "if". So, to protect the users and the
community from any such nonsense, any persons who make legal threats should
be banned.
Btw I repeatedly said, in this thread, that Technoethical is also a good
alternative to Minifree. This, in spite of them spamming about themselves in
this thread that wasn't about them.
At no point have I ever told people not to buy from Technoethical. I have
only ever asked Technoethical
If this is the way some people think they are going to make a point, then I'd

^ I 100% agree with this. This is not the first time I've had a major dispute
with Tiberiu/Technoethical on Trisquel forums.
I want it to stop. I posted this thread here about Minifree's Libreboot X200
with the intention of telling people about it, and answering questions etc.

So hey, Tiberiu.
As I said earlier, I don't want to talk to you. I only came to this thread to
check up on it just now. Just FYI: I shipped 8 laptops today. I'm shipping
many more tomorrow, and on Friday.
I'm sending them all to Trisquel forums to write reviews.

>I mean call me paranoid.
No, I am not going to call you anything, however I am not going neither to
deny that you read my mind.
>My Libreboot X200 bought in 2016 is perfect!
So? Who wins?
As a customer of both companies I can assure you that Technoethical wins ...
BY FAR.
I want it to be known that I 100% agree with loldier and gnutastyc.
The purpose of this thread is to promote Minifree's Libreboot X200, and to
answer questions about it. Nothing else.
I do hope Technoethical will stop trying to trash this thread. I have no
intention to continue
Don't you worry. It's water off a duck's back. Your gain, their loss.
Yes, I agree. It should be obvious that this is not the way to go. The
community will be ruined by this, eventually.
Yesterday I tried again to upgrade to Trisquel 8, but I am still having the

However, this is a Trisquel-Users forum that is also commonly used to discuss
about Free Software in general, so maybe
STOP THIS NONSENSE, PLEASE. It's going nowhere and the forum Trisquel-users
is not the place to continue this.
I really like how LibreLeah is looking to get AMD CPU laptops into Minifree's
inventory. A few words of caution before jumping in with them, certain
mid-range laptops have poor battery life. Up to three hours if you are lucky,
so please try to find a device that lasts a little longer, if
No one wins my friend .
At the end all we will lose if this will go on .

> You also see fit to promote yourself, in a thread that is not about your
company, while attempting to de-rail this thread.
Get real. The history of events:
1. You announce the re-launch of X200 at Minifree, inviting people to place
orders.
2. A forum member recommends buying from
As stated before, I wish to stop talking to you. Please stop responding in
this thread, and please stop lying that Minifree sells low quality products:
it doesn't. Minifree is an honest company, and provides the best quality it
possibly can. Your statement that good, decent products from
Like I said, I don't want to talk to you further. You continue to spread FUD
about me, and accuse me of doing the same. I never got anyone to post in your
T400S thread.
Of course, it's only natural that you'd deny my accusations, while continuing
to take part in this thread. Your tactic
Leah:
> It's clear that it is in his best interest to trash me as much as possible
That has never been among my objectives. Nor wish that your company didn't
exist, as you've accused me of in one of your earlier comments.
I just wish, like everybody else, that you stop lying that your prices
Leah:
> It's obvious to me that Tiberiu asked you to do this. The timing is too
perfect.
False. Allow me to speculate about the timing: you announce the relaunch of
one of your products and invite people to buy from you. This reminds people
that they don't have a good experience with your
Leah:
> Finding one of my angry customers, someone who was unhappy with the service
they received at Minifree, who then told Technoethical about this and bought
from them instead, and asking them to vandalize a Minifree thread on the
Trisquel forums... this is not an attack? Interesting.
I want to say that I very much 100% agree with SuperTramp83.
I'm not happy at all with what Tiberiu and Technoethical has tried to do to

So hey, can you stop trying to trash Minifree?
It's obvious to me that Tiberiu asked you to do this. The timing is too
perfect. I mean call me paranoid but... yeah.
I'll repeat again: your order at Minifree was under warranty. So if you did
receive a bad product, you were within your right
Indeed. As previously stated, Minifree offers a 2 year warranty on all
orders. As also stated, I do not wish to discuss with Tiberiu further.
You are also quite correct that you are not at fault for what you interpreted
as a bad experience. If you want me to do something with your previous
