Shouldn't Trisquel focus on timely releases for x86 (which most people use) before supporting other architectures? The latest version of Trisquel is based on a two and a half old release of Ubuntu (which means a lot of software is outdated). The priority should be on releasing a new version

Put Trisquel on the iMac too. Maybe it's already there; you don't say. Once it is, use VNC. Or SSH with X forwarding. Or X2Go. Or any of the other options. In the land of GNU/Linux there's usually more than one way to do something.

I would only add, that redshift can also be used in a "one shot manual mode" with the following syntax: redshift -O TEMP where TEMP is colour temperature. For example, to set the colour temperature to 3700K, you can type in the terminal: redshift -O 3700

I have an old (2008) iMac and a newer (2012) MacBook Pro (with SSD). The MacBook Pro is the preferable choice to use as it has SSD. But I would really like to use the iMac as a display/monitor. Is this possible? The iMac has only a mini-DVI connection, whereas the MacBook has

I had a look in Synaptic, and it seems that I have "redshift-gtk" already installed (I had installed "Redshift" from Add/Remove). However, I don't seem to have a GUI interface for Redshift; I get the same error as the OP upon launching Redshift from the "Accessories" menu where it's located.

It's just listed as "Redshift" in Add/Remove. "redshift-gtk" is the package name, though, so that's what it's listed as in Synaptic and what you would put as the package to install with e.g. apt-get.
