The December upload ISO makes no difference. Etcher claims it's non-bootable.
I don't think it's a question of "luck". These images won't boot on a recent
mac out of firmware mismatches or incompatibilities. The EFI folder of the
ISO should be edited to make it compatible but I don't know how
Hello George,
I recommend you take a look at https://etcher.io for creating live USB flash
drives. In my experience, it succeeds where other tools fail.
To sum it up - welcome to Trisquel.
Most users on the forums prefer the term of "Free Software", as we think of
it as an ethical issue.
It's about software that is free as in freedom of speech.
The 'open source' camp (best term I can think of) merely decides to let
others work on their code
They are still there but one has to know the exact name of directory.

Although

currently displays the FSF home page for some reason, you can still find the
12/24 ISO here:

I wonder if you'll have more luck with it.

I did that a lot too until I learned that only the first version of each
comment, without the edits, gets sent to the mailing list. I find using
'preview' and making changes before hitting 'save' helps.

I usually edit my posts a few times in a row. I never seem to get them right
at once.
Sorry, I didn't see your full post. All that was included in the message sent
to the mailing list was "I've managed to get Debian, MInt and Trisquel to
boot." This post is also missing the last paragraph in the email. Are you
editing your comments after posting? If so, replying to your posts
I have two macs, a 2015 Macbook Air and a late 2009 Mini.
The Air boots everything, USB or DVD, so far but not Trisquel. Mint, Ubuntu,
Fedora.
Mini boots Trisquel and also Debian and Mint. I haven't tried anything else.
These are all from DVD.
I didn't do anything special to boot T8. Alt-

Trisquel 8? What did you have to do?

I've managed to get Debian, MInt and Trisquel to boot.
Still trying to make progress: I reformatted another USB dongle and made it
into a Live USB for Flidas ... which process went to completion, using the
Trisquel_8 download suggested in the sticky, same as for Belanos that has
always worked in the past.
This time the Live USB fails to boot, e
Maybe try an earlier ISO, perhaps the 12/24 one that worked for GrevenGull?

I used Enlightenment for a while. Its support for dynamic tiling eventually led
me to i3, but unlike i3 Enlightenment isn't scary to beginners. The only
problems I recall were that it seemed buggy and crashy in general (to be fair,
I was using Arch at the time)
Bootcamp is mainly for Windows drivers. It's unnecessary.
It took some time to boot the Mini again on Linux Mint. It shows both EFI and
Windows as boot devices.
>What IRC clients are popular amongst Trisquel users?
I wouldn't know, I imagine Pidgin is the most widely used.
Irssi is my favorite -> https://irssi.org/
>Also, what is a good way to secure the connection? Using SSL?
Sure. Here some basic info to get you going in case you decide to go for it
Does Bootcamp not work with newer MacBooks and/or have disadvantages?

No, I haven’t tried Bootcamp 9n an6 of my macs. I booted the Mini the same

Does bootcamp the Mac Mini recognize other distros as Windows? I wonder if
there is any way to fix this on Trisquel's end, or if bootcamp assumes that
anything that isn't macOS is Windows. It's a cosmetic issue that can be
clarified in the documentation, but it could confuse someone.

About two years ago I ran into a problem whose solution was so obvious that I

You build from source. Grabbing .debs from other distros is sure to either
not work or cause problems if it does.
Ok, I understand now. I tried T8 DVD boot on my 2009 Mac Mini. It works just
like you said "windows' boot device at boot screen.
When I first switched to Trisquel I tried with Trisquel 7 on MacBook Pro 9,1.
That did not work.
So I tried Trisquel Mini, which worked.
Later I downloaded Trisquel 8 (2017-12-24 04:46, I actually noted time and
date because of logging purposes) and burned it on a DVD (I've always used

That was my initial approach, but as described in my original post, I did not
succeed in installing the current version of unar. Any hint on how to do
that?
Btw, as I'm new to this forum two little off topic questions: How can I quote
and how can I format text as code?
Here's Fedora boot screen on my Macbook Air (2015). Alt/Option down and power

She's never done a dual boot or messed around with EFI, so if bootcamp is the
default with High Sierra then yes.
