I've just discovered Trisquel. I like the OS very much and plan to use it full time. It seems to have a much lower overhead than Ubuntu. Now I've got to make a small donation to the developer. I'd give more but I'm not working now. when things get better I'll donate more. The only issues

I have mostly used Trisquel mostly inside a KVM-based virtual machine. So I am not shure if my experiences really count but there you go: Unfortunately on my hardware (GeForce 9800GT) 3D acceleration is cumbersome. This is not really a problem of Trisquel itself but the old version of the

I forget where I was reading this or maybe I heard it from Rubén (lead developer). Chromium's main problem was privacy related. Those issues have been resolved. There may still be an issue with it pointing you to non-free plug-ins though. It'll be back in Trisquel's repository again

I'm on Trisquel since november... I have also installed Ubuntu 11.10 because sometimes I have to use something wich use flash and doesn't run with gnash. But I'm also interested about the news from Ubuntu so I still use it, but only 5% of time. My hardware run properly with Trisquel, only 3D

I use Parabola on my netbook (1001PX) as the internal microphone didn't work in Trisquel Taranis (but worked fine in later versions) and I wanted to use a distro which is supported for a few years without needing to upgrade. I use Trisquel 4 and 5 on my desktop as it uses an integrated VIA

Trisquel does work very well thanks in large part to the lead developer Rubén. Unfortunately many of us still have issues due the dominance of non-free business models. Making a usable free distribution becomes difficult as a result. There are lots of things that need to be worked on in

I have used Trisquel for almost all my x86 computing for a little over 6 months. That is my usual web, email, office documents, light DTP, web site editing, photo editing, some programming and a bit of hobby graphics. The only thing I've been unable to use it for is updating my mobile

Have you tried installing ununrar? I believe that gives an interface that is similar to the non-free unrar for Unarchiver, so you can use it with file roller. That's what I use.

I'm all in with Trisquel since 4.5 came out. I also tried gNewSense of the [http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html free distros] but since the release was so much older I preferred Trisquel. I guess I should give the other distros a spin as well I guess, if only just to see them.

ununrar provides an interface to unar so it can be used by file-roller and such programs which previously used unrar. It basically allows you to open and extract rars through file-roller using unar as backend.

Hi! I'm glad to see that we have people doing real things with Trisquel; spread the word! So often I am confronted with the assumption that desktop Linux is just something for computer hobbyists and malisious crackers, to play with. I'm sending this from my general-purpose netbook, I use
