"It makes no sense to me to tell people to switch to free software when the majority of PCs out now cannot run it not because the hardware isn't supported in free software, but because the latest releases of free software OSes are behind in adding support for the hardware."

Yeah, I feel the same way.
Convincing people of the benefits of free software is not difficult (at least this is my experience). But I as soon as they ask for a free alternative for windows or apple I get into trouble. I think no one of my friends will be happy with trisquel since there are too many problems to deal with (hardware support, flash problem etc.). The fsf raised lots of money last year and all they do is campaigning and making festivals.
