Thanks to both of you!

I think that for the Spectre patch you need 4.14 or later. Trisquel gets 4.4
from upstream Ubuntu, so if you want the Spectre patch I suggest installing
4.14 from jxself's repo.

Complementing mason's answers:
1. I have "Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)" (according to 'lspci'
and went through the issues you mentioned when I was using Trisquel 7's X
server (the latest kernel made no difference). There is no such problem with
Trisquel 8.
4. You may (or
You can use the 'pdfunite' command, which is installed by default (at least
in Trisquel 8).

Yep, I'm definitely a Kiwi, living in Auckland. My entire whare is running
Trisquel now, hence the username. For those not in the know here, "whare" is
the Māoriᵃ word for house, home, or building.

If there is free firmware for your graphics card, it is likely in the Trisquel
repository. There is no proprietary software in the Trisquel repository.

I have a few questions before installing Trisquel, after I recently decided
to do the switch from Debian.
1) Is Intel HD Graphics 630 supported? (was told to install proprietary
firmware on Debian to fix tearing issues and such)
2) Will Trisquel security updates include patches for the Intel

I meant to write how to *disable* Orca.

I think it better have to have assistive technologies enabled by default than
disabled, but this seems to be a very common question. I can think of a few
possible solutions
- have a separate ISO with which assistive technologies are enabled by default
during and after installation
- have an

Thank you Luca Guidetti, this work.
Not only the Unites States, don't forget the so-called "Free Trade
Agreements". USA can impose draconian laws like DMCA on other countries.

No, Cinnamon is not supposed to be "light". It's based on GNOME 3.
> Turn it off at Startup applications, then reboot.
Aha! That did it, and is a much better solution than having to kill the
process every time I reboot. Thanks for this!
DMCA is the reason libdvdcss must be a separate dowload. If Ubuntu can
include libdvd-pkg, so can Trisquel. Is there anything to prevent this
freedomwise?
There's also a Cinnamon desktop similar to MATE which both are GNOME forks,
as compared to LXQt or MATE is Cinnamon really light? I have some nostalgia
reason using Cinnamon from which I was still running nonfree Linux Mint,
that's the system developing Cinnamon desktop.
Of course LXDE/LXQt is lighter, but MATE is light enough.
I run Trisquel 8 (default settings) on a twelve years old ThinkPad Z61t and
everything is smooth enough.
My only concern is that libdvdcss might violate DMCA (Domination by Media
Company Act) in the United States...
So be careful to enable it by default.

I have seen this happen. Orca is buggy.
Last time I installed T8 Orca misbehaved as usual. I couln't turn it off
easily no matter what I did. Then I uninstalled it.
Trisquel should take up Ubuntu's libdvd-pkg method. Libdvd-pkg has been there
since Ubuntu 15.10.
Until it does, use the Videolan repo method.
