Magic Banana, I actually tried to do that, but when I attempted to boot up to
the GUI, I either got a blank screen, or the GNOME 3.18 DE. Is there anyone
else who has tried to install their DE of choice from a console installation
or Trisquel 7.0, or something similar?
What I really want to know, is if there is any way for me to install only the
MATE desktop during the text install. I know that, at the end of the
installation, it asks you what kind of DE you want. If I don't select any of
them, is it possible for me to then, after I boot up into the basic
Many people consider the MATE version of Ubuntu 16.04 to be the best version
for its level of polish. This benefits Trisquel 8 greatly.
Stoked that Mate will be the new desktop for Trisquel 8!
I read that GNOME and LXDE were going to continue as the official GUI
environments. When Trisquel 8 arrives, many things are going to be posible,
for example I´ gonna can install Plasma 5 (through PPA)

Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to install MATE as the default
desktop in Trisquel, using the text installer, or some other means. I prefer
MATE to GNOME 3, but I would rather not have two DEs on my computer if I can
avoid it.
I tried doing this by not installing a desktop

Just one thing to add luckygrl, since you are used to Mint, you might expect
to install MATE and get the same desktop interface... but some things will be
actually different (the nice start menu with the search function for example
is a notable difference). Those differences were made by the

thankyou.

Kind of an unrelated question, but Trisquel doesn't use Firefox because of
the trademark restrictions. Most importantly, one restriction only allows use
of the trademark with non-commercial distributions, which makes
Abrowser also uses a default add-ons page that only lists libre add-ons.
Trisquel 7 will be using GNU IceCat, although this will make little practical
difference, see

That looks perfectly fine to me.
I have the Trisquel 5.5 Beta on a flash drive. On first glance, it
already looks very much like Gnome 2, to a user of orca, at least. More
detailed account of my exploration in another message thread.

Personally I'm kind of sick of all the bloating gnome and KDE have been going
through lately. I would like to have a -box based distro. Something like
Debian with just xdm and fluxbox and software from both KDE and gnome on top.
I tried it out for some time, it looked like garbage, but
Although I'm the sort of person who dislikes a lot of what gnome-shell and
Unity have to offer, IIRC the stated reason Trisquel won't adopt them is
because they require hardware acceleration and/or 3D support not yet possible
with free graphics drivers.
I thought it would be possible to have Gnome 3 with a legacy Desktop.
I thought the plan was to move to Gnome 3, but without Gnome Shell.
Trisquel users are like Mint users in many ways where they are somewhat set
in what they want from their desktop and dislike a lot of what Gnome Shell
and Unity have to offer - what supports this assertion?
By including applications from different DEs, you need to have their numerous
dependencies (libraries) as well. In the end, the distro does not fit on a CD
and, when running applications from different DEs, you need to load all these
libraries into central memory. The latter point means
You can, just use Trisquel Mini Edition but load into a pure Openbox session,
then just use PCManFM for file browsing, tint2 for system tray and running
applications and LXAppearance for the gtk theme. No need to use GNOME or KDE
applications, I guarantee there is a much light solution to

Ubuntu 11.10 has been released so the focus is now on Trisquel to make some

to Gnome 3.
