If you find you can't handle Trisquel, but still care about your freedom,
privacy, etc consider another distribution that includes the non-free pieces.
While this is horrible thing for your freedom it's better than returning to a
completely or mostly non-free OS like Microsoft Windows/Mac OS X and is
generally still just as easy to use (if not easier) than Microsoft
Windows/Mac OS X.
I think we sometimes forget here to emphasize this. Nobody is going to
support you here with anything non-free, but that doesn't mean you have to
revert back to a completely non-free OS. All GNU/Linux distributions are
going to be better for your freedom even if they don't intentionally take
steps to respect your freedom like Trisquel does beyond what is required by
the license agreements.
If this is your first time with GNU/Linux Trisquel is going to be a pretty
big barrier relative to other distributions, but it's likely in time that
barrier will shrink, as you become more familiar with GNU/Linux in general.
There may come a day when you can handle the jump to Trisquel or another 100%
free distribution.
