Oh yeah, it's definitely not a good idea, but I didn't know how else to do
it. That's why I'm asking.
I need the Linux kernel for the same reason as Ubuntu and hundreds of other
distributions use it: OOB functionality, of course.
Trisquel's freedom dedication is a little too much of a change at once for
average users, and with the ability to toggle kernels, it can be a conscious
decision seperate from the decision to take on a new OS.
As I said, I could always install another GNU/Linux distribution and it will
all work fine - but that should not be necessary for only one program, the
kernel. Trisquel is freedom-superior in many more ways than its free kernel,
and I see no need to get rid of them.
