I applied that. I'll have to wait and check when updates are available.
Ubuntu software center will be removed in the next release and replaced by
Gnome Software.

Ubuntu Software Center has *already* being replaced with GNOME Software in
beta releases of Xenial (16.04).
Isn't there a design branch in Trisquel development team? Or how it's
development is being handled?
If you are talking about general public distribution, out-of-the-box
usability for the computer illiterate is probably a must. I'm linux neophyte
and want to use Trisquel for ideological reasons, but also because for the
most part it is a great, easy to use distro. That said, I have
So maybe we should have an unofficial competition to redesign some things?
For instance we could have people theme specific desktop environments, for
example XFCE or GNOME Shell!
I have the same problem. You know why that happens? For some reason, when you
open the package updater, it doesn't refresh the package lists (i.e. "apt-get
update"), it only looks for updates in the current package lists (i.e.
"apt-get upgrade"). Doing "Refresh Package Lists" from "Packages"
Thank you guys for the news, I haven't heard about that before. That
Snappy-system sounds like a good innovation. It's something to consider
about.
I basically meant just a refined version of Synaptic. For example maybe

Trisquel's Software Updater front-end works just fine in graphical mode as of
now. Coincidentally, my Debian Package Updater has quirks -- it never finds
any updates while apt-get update/upgrade in the Terminal does.
That's why we need the out-of-the-box experience as you said, in order to be
the general public distribution. User should be able to use the distro
without any terminal command, in my opinion. That's the must for the most
ordinary users, who just want to browse the internet and watch the
Thank you for the comment.
I agree that the promoting the distribution is the number one goal. There is
of course other things than just a look of the desktop. But it's the issue
which, in my opinion, we should give a thought.
Beatiful, fine look of the desktop and it's great usability
Cuba's Nova 2015 has a revamped Gnome.
That kind of idealism we need!
Not saying that "Cuba's Nova 2015" is the specific one to go, but that kind

That looks fresh and professional. It signals to the user, that, we are
serious about this project taking a ground amongst the world of personal
That would actually be great! (:
I've been viewing Trisquel from a mainstream PC-user standpoint for a while.
I came to the conclusion, that, our beloved distro, is lacking an unique
design and look. An awesome OS like Trisquel needs it's recognizable look and
feel, which acts like a "trademark"; when people see it, they
I think the logo is pretty unique already. I think it is probably more
important to promote the distribution, what it stands for and why people
should use it.
Ubuntu has a problem with `not invented here': they developed Unity which
people did not want or need. The same goes for the Mir
