> where (link) can I find the list of preloaded software of Trisquel 8? The most reliable way to see what software is already installed on your system is to open Synaptic Package Manager. This will show you every package installed and allow you to add/remove packages.
You can also go to Add/Remove Applications for a more simplified list of programs that only includes graphical applications and excludes things like libraries, but this list will not be as complete as that in Synaptic. > This to avoid downloading a software once again, if this software is > already installed in the new Trisquel 8 version. This isn't really something to worry about when installing software from the Trisquel repository. If the package is already installed, the package manager will just upgrade the package if there is an upgrade available, or it will do nothing if there is no upgrade available. I recommend reading this page https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-software-installation-trisquel-different-windows for some general information on how package management works in Trisquel, and reading this page https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-updating-and-removing-software for a guide on how to use Synaptic Package Manager and Add/Remove Applications. > New in town Welcome. :)
