I had this same problem. Only flatpak fixed it. I'd rather it work as a read
install from the Trisquel repos.
I use almost exclusively hibernation (vs. suspending or shutting down). I can
pause the computing process and then dump the memory to internal disk (when I
have to leave my current location). When I arrive at my new location, I can
resume my mobile workstation and commence the computing.
I still manage several workstations in my lab. I plan to replace the
originally installed Mint with Trisquel 8.
The standard Trisquel installer with MATE should be good. Though I don't
actually need a DE, some students may have difficulties with the terminal.
Snap is a bug, not a feature. So is Ubuntu (or Canonical)...
And I was extremely disappointed when I upgraded my (manually liberated) Mint
18.3 to 19. The updater program automatically re-installed many non-free
software, firmware and even codecs without my consent. It also re-enabled the
:) This should be a beautiful process.
Paper is indeed more durable. I already clone my disk to a paper file
system.
It looks like Debian testing introduces a plugin[1] for Snap integration, which
Ubuntu has included[2] since 17.10. If this means that Ubuntu has removed Snap
integration from gnome-software itself, then p
erhaps this will not be an issue in Ubuntu 18.04/Trisquel 9.
In the meantime, I was
Thanks again both.
I have a few more questions on the Server front:
I currently have a ZFS pool running in another server-type machine that I
would ideally move over as-is. Is it possible to run ZFS (OpenZFS) under
Trisquel?
Secondly, what is the preferred/recommended means to run
Yeah, I know. I'm sure it can help to work together with the Debian and
Fedora communities, though. They've been really helpful when it comes to this
sort of thing in the past (especially Fedora).
The point is, if we only have a downstream solution, we'll be constantly
patching the

Unfortunately, upstream probably sees it as a feature rather than a problem.
I haven't stopped using computers, but I've progressively been removing my
dependency on them.
Not for freedom's sake, mind, but just because paper is much more durable
than magnetic hard drives. Who knows? I might even go so far as to print my
passwords and GnuPG keys on paper and then
I used Ubuntu 16.04 before switching back to Trisquel 7 recently, and it was
a nightmare specifically because of the problem with Snap packages. I simply
could not search for libre software in GNOME Software; every time I did a
search, I would get all these Snap packages, completely
