[Trisquel-users] Trisquel v gNewSense

[nux]

A quick driver question.
After a few days of using Trisquel I thought I'd give gNewSense a try. With  
Trisquel everything on the target laptop works out of the box - on gNewSense  
there's no wireless, no ethernet and the screen resolution is wrong and not  
changeable.
I'm somewhat confused, is this because gNewSense is not done properly? Or  
because Trisquel is using non-free drivers? Or because Trisquel is more up to  
date and thus has better drivers? Or none of the above?
