And now would be a good time to remove it from the OS. I think System D is perhaps the only thing I really don't like about Trisquel. Running through the list of options which came through my mind over this delima, I surmised that Trisquel could rebase Trisquel 10 on Devuan or perhaps VOID Linux, which would also get rid of System D. That would be redundant and somewhat backwards. It is certain that Trisquel will not be able to continue on as a Ubuntu based OS.Īnd since gnewsense will be based on Debian, there is no sense on continuing Trisquel on Debian as well. It was also mentioned that Trisquel itself used to be based on Debian. gnewsense will be based on Debian but I don't believe they have made a release yet. In the aformentioned article thread, the subject of gnewsense was brought up. Nor does Trisquel have the resources to build their own debian packages for their use. Trisquel does not have the manpower to make their own snap packages filled with FREE SOFTWARE components. We saw the same thing with FLATPAK's as Trisquel ripped out their support for FLATPAK's for the same reason, that FLATPAK's included nonfree software. And Trisquel will probably not use these snap packages as they will be full of NONFREE software components. The reason I say this is because in Ubuntu 19.10, we can see the first forced implementations of snappacks or snap images instead of debian packages as we are all used to seeing in previous versions of Ubuntu. That is to say, Trisquel 9 might be the very last time we see the Trisquel project do what it does, which is to make a direct conversion of Ubuntu into Free Software. I didn't actually make a list of things I tried to install which would not install because the software maintainers for Trisquel could not find FREE SOFTWARE equivalents for various packages which were used in Ubuntu 16.04 which is Trisquel 8's base.Īll I could say was that for the packages I could install, all were stable and reliable and fast.īut, I digress somewhat because the subject of this article is "The END of Trisquel" as a distribution or perhaps the end of Trisquel as we know Trisquel today. I can only say that Trisquel 8 is FAST and STABLE and everything works for everything I have installed.Ĭertain packages/programs such as OBS-STUDIO are not available in Trisquel 8 because the dependency's are not available for installation from the Trisquel 8 repo's. There was also a short discussion about the different meant when it referred to a stable distribution. Most of the comments made by posters replying in the thread seemed to revolve around their use of Debian rather than Trisquel for their version of a GNU/Linux operating system.
