Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel on non-x86 systems

[alonivtsan]

Trisquel has never supported other architectures even if those offered freer  
computers, such as the Lemote Yeelong MIPS laptop (which was supported by  
gNewSense). This might have been partially due to Ubuntu focusing on x86  
releases compared to Debian.

I understand the logic regarding the need to leave the x86 architecture.  
However, a non-rolling libre distribution should first and foremost provide  
timely releases with up to date software/libraries. Trisquel has suffered  
greatly from postponed releases which has led to users migrating to other  
libre distributions such as Parabola and Hyperbola (or simply using other  
distributions with minimal amount of non-free packages). I think this should  
be the primary concern of Trisquel before it considers adding support for  
other architectures which most users will not use until computers using those  
architectures are sold in their local computer shops.
