Maybe release the source code? What you're trying to do is nice, but it does seem strange to me. If you're trying to make a fully free system, it would be logical for you to develop and share it as free software. But you say that you only provide a non-functional binary .iso without the

I can't see any difference between those two situations. I'd like to point out that they do not share the exact same problem. Telegram is a messaging service you can use to talk to people. Therefore, your messages are private and meant for only one person (or a specific group of people).

That's because Trisquel 7 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 Maybe you can download a newer package manually or check if there's one in GNOME's ppa.

Kind of. There are some nice updates and improvements and UI polishing. I will probably just get Parabola :)

Hello! (TL;DR at the end) I have decided to get an external wi-fi card and start living a more free life! :) I am currently running Ubuntu, but I'd like to switch to a completely libre system. After doing some DE research, I think I'd prefer using GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell is constantly

Ah, well, that's a shame. But good to know Parabola works well! That said, the review I linked to says that there are different versions for GNOME packages. Is that by design of Trisquel? I might also settle for GNOME 3.12, because I know they have a ppa for Ubuntu 14.04 with that. That

I took a look at it, but it seemed like it targets users who know what they are doing with technology. Also, SSH keys and git? While Red Hat is a great company I like and respect, I will probably look into simpler solutions here. But thank you for suggestion! :)

No custom design for the free version... well, that is not ideal, but it would be sufficient. I am a little worried about lack of customization, though. I prefer not having too many restrictions (By that I mean, the service offers a lot of them, but most of them are not offered for the free

I would like to disagree. Just because Debian is not a FSF endorsed doesn't mean it cannot help FSF with doing the right thing. Even if Microsoft helped FSF identify free sowtware compatible hardware, it would still be a good thing. Yes, it does not make Microsoft a good company, but that

Hello! I talked to some people recently, about how Skype is bad because it's spyware. But they said that the people who use Skype agree to being tracked, so it's okay. I do not think this case must be exactly true, but it was still interesting to think about. As R. M. Stallman said many
