i'm just replying regarding the wireless (i have no idea about the default DE, I don't use it) - by the sounds of it, your wireless card is NOT supported by Trisquel. If it worked, you'd see wireless networks listed - i use the livecd (on USB really) to test wireless hardware for support - if nothing is listed = it's not supported. best of luck.
And that's probably because the wireless card of this laptop requires nonfree software. Trisquel is a free distro, which means it doesn't include any nonfree software, because it respects users' freedom to control their own computer. If your wireless card doesn't work with free software, it means its vendor wants to have control over its users (that's you!) and you should change it with another card which works with free software or you can add a wireless adapter on USB.
