In particular, I didn't understand why the sound would mute itself so much

does to the volume of individual devices)

I don't think different themes can improve the problems I mentioned, because
I tried a view and recognized the same old fashioned touch.
It seems to be something more intrinsic to the desktop environment.
My understandment of project health is as following:

region of Spain. Perhaps his brother, who commited to what Trisquel
represents now, too.
2.| Progress made on Sugar environment, additional Dextrose tools and OLPC

Good. I think a bit of competition in this area will be a healthy thing. I
don't know enough about it to decide between X, Wayland and Mir, I guess I
need to do some reading. Interesting times!

In the effort to get free software to the widest amount of people possible,
Trisquel SHOULD focus on one of the lighter desktop environments like LXDE or
XFCE not only because their requirements are low but also because the system
is not likely to change its functionality in any extreme way
I would have to disagree wholeheartedly about Fedora. Fedora reaches
end-of-life much too soon and has far too many things just not working on any
given release for beginners.
Xfce, I'm not sure about. In particular, I didn't understand why the sound

If MIR is free and works with GNOME, then it's worth considering for
Trisquel. We could potentially use Mir with GNOME3 shell and software
rendering as the default setup, with the option to install free graphics
drivers where they exist.
What about XFCE4 ?
I've heard good things about it but have not yet tried.

Is it significantly slower using the software rendering?
I'm guessing X11 will still be packaged. Otherwise Kubuntu et al. are in a
lot of trouble.
I agree with Andrew. I think x11 will still be packaged and available. Also
since we do not use Unity anyway Reuben is used to putting in a significant
amount of work into the UI.
No, if you have a badass CPU. But it is significantly hotter and thus very
soon louder.
Notice that the CPU can now render GNOME Shell. No need for 3D acceleration.
Ah, this is excellent news!

The Debian question is interesting. Debian is certainly a superb

Chiefly, the extremely slow release schedule for stable. Whilst this

If Mir turns out to be pretty good and more flexible than X11 or just more
modern and efficient, why not test it out instead of writing off entirely?
Don't say you are going to take sides with Wayland either... that project is
stagnant.
So Ubuntu 14.04 will have Unity 8.0 and Mir as their default DE and display
server. What will this mean for Trisquel? I'm assuming Ruben will want to
keep GNOME 3 as the default DE - how is he going to implement 2D support?
Will Trisquel 7.0 have to be based on Xubuntu or any other *buntu
The other thing I was thinking of was that if, in the future, Trisquel will
return to Debian as its base - perhaps gNewSense could amalgamate with
Trisquel - or at least share development resources, since both distros would
be sharing a common base, both technologically and politically.

This news about Ubuntu 14.04 is indeed troubling.
To be honest, I'm not sure what the solution is - but I think it's pretty
clear that it will become harder and harder to provide a free distro based on
Ubuntu, as it becomes less and less free.
I think a Debian stable + an optional backported Linux-libre kernel updated
mesa driver stack could work well - kind of what the Ubuntu LTS point
releases are doing.
Sure, the programs might be a bit dated, but you can always add program
specific PPAs.

You might be on to something there. But IMO there would have to be a few more
backported packages than just the kernel and some drivers. A web browser, for
example.
PPAs are great, but we don't want users relying on them too much, because
Trisquel already deviates from Ubuntu's choice of a default DE. I doubt this
change will cause many problems.
Also, isn't Mir free software?

I run MATE from the official PPA in Trisquel 6 and it has worked fine for me.
The default implementation is rough around the edges and I decided to purge
it out and replace with MATE.
It works well and the low system resources are why it is my preferred DE.
