There IS an Atheros WLAN card usable on T400 (authorized by Lenovo). It is, however, a low-end AR2425 model. I can search for its FRU ID for you so you can purchase one if needed.

Trisquel follows the fixed (LTS) release model. But this doesn't mean that you have to use whatever is in the official repository. You can download and install the latest version of LibreOffice manually. To install LibreOffice manually, just download the tarball, extract it, change the

I installed the official version from Libreoffice website. Not worth the time and effort though, I'll almost certainly join you in using Stretch's version in the future.

Trisquel is a "stable" GNU/Linux distribution. That means all major versions of all packages are frozen in the repository of a given version of Trisquel (e.g., Trisquel 8, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04). Only some bugs (in particular vulnerabilities) are corrected. One single exception

I'm definitely changing it - this 5.1.6.2 version on Trisquel right now keeps crashing for me. But is there some reason that we are not using the current 6.0.5, or even the "conservative" version 5.4.7 that LibreOffice recommends for enterprise users?

Like Random Agent Spoofer, Self-Destructing Cookies was not ported to the WebExtensions API, the only one Firefox (and derivatives such as Abrowser) 47 and later support. I think you made a typographical error and meant Firefox 57 (Quantum) instead of Firefox 47.

Okay, I now understand why it was done that way, and I appreciate Trisquel's concern with my privacy. But I really don't care if people know that I have a 1440x900 screen resolution. I can't see how that would negatively affect me. Maybe I'll be targeted by people who are selling old
