Distribution Release: Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.5 |
|
Rubén RodrÃguez has announced the release of Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.5, a 100% "libre" distribution based on Ubuntu: "Trisquel 5.5 STS 'Brigantia' is finally here. This release is our first to be based on GNOME 3, GTK+ 3 and also Linux-libre 3.0. GNOME 3 was a big challenge, because as it is designed now, it is not usable for our community. The new default interface of GNOME 3 is GNOME Shell, a program that requires 3D acceleration to work, as it relies on graphics composition. Sadly, many graphics cards today still lack a libre driver providing acceleration, so many users who would choose free drivers will be redirected to a fallback desktop environment. This way many users could feel compelled to install non-free drivers to be able to use the new desktop, so we decided to use the fallback environment as default." Here is the full release announcement. Download: trisquel_5.5_i686.iso (696MB, MD5, torrent), trisquel_5.5_amd64.iso (699MB, MD5, torrent).
