I do want to chime in and say that I, too, have few problems. I also think
the number of problems I have is fewer than the number of problems I had with
Trisquel 6. The problems I do have are with gedit[1] and the sound recorder
app;[2] I have no hardware compatibilities or anything like that.
I also want to note that all of the hardware compatibility problems posted on
the forum have been with AMD/ATI GPUs, which have long been known to be a
terrible choice for libre systems. Maybe it's a problem specific to Trisquel,
but it seems to me very likely that upstream Linux developers simply
neglected to keep support for using these GPUs without the proprietary
firmware blobs working properly. If you want to check if it's because of a
kernel update, you can install linux-generic-lts-trusty on a Trisquel 6
system where you aren't having the problem and see if you get the same
problem as in Trisquel 7 (I don't have an affected system, so I can't test it
myself).
[1] gedit sometimes crashes, more so if automatic saving is enabled. I've
solved this by switching to another text editor for now.
[2] Sound Recorder often, but not always, locks up instead of starting to
record when I hit the "record" button. When this happens, I just force-quit
it and try again. But I could also easily use some other program, like
Audacity, to record sounds.
