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 for socializing,
taking
notes, reading, watching videos, ...
Cheers,
Dave

I use Trisquel full time on my desktop. I bought a different motherboard
(and, as a consequence, a new CPU and new RAM) for it to be as free software
friendly, as possible. Before that, I had to cope with slow performance even
without compiz effects.
Now I can't play a number of games that are too advanced to run with the
integrated Intel X4500 graphicschip.
However, it's not just inconvenience you have to go through! I was able to
easily do a podcast for work. Recorded video with ffmpeg, recorded sound with
Audacity, did the editing and rendering with PiTiVi. My colleges did podcasts
as well and mine had quite high video quality, maybe the best out of all. Did
all that while booting from a live USB-stick.
