For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Hi, actually I give 10/10 to Triskel (with KDE desktop), but I have an unclosed gestalt with Trisquel and Trisquel-mini, so my rating is 9/10.

I use Trisquel as my daily driver last 3 years. I started from Trisquel-mini 8.0 and Trisquel classic 8.0, but I had some problems with screen tearing and Orca (I failed to disable it). I was a bit sceptic to try Triskel, bacause I thought I would be too heavy for my old laptop, but I was wrong.

Finally, I installed Triskel 8.0 and everything worked perfect! Since then I used Triskel on both of my laptops and every version from 8.0 to 11.0 works perfect. They works much faster and smoother than my more modern and powerful PC with Windows 10 (unfortunately, I need it for work).

If you tried Trisquel or Trisquel-mini, and had some issues, try Triskel. It might help you.

The distro itself is very user-friendly (especially Triskel) and may be the best choice to switch from Windows to Linux. Somehow, Triskel works better than Linux Mint and Uduntu, thougth it has no proprietary blobs. Also, I tried Fedora and Debian, but Debian was not really stable (suprisingly) and not so user-friendly, and Fedora uses Gnome and I really didn't like it.

Every user is different and every computer is different, but Triskel is worth a try at least.

My very first try of Linux was Ubuntu... that I dropped within a week for Trisquel.
I was immediately charmed... until I had to get in touch with the community requesting help because the wifi didn't work...

And the joy was gone for 2 reasons:
1) "Community doesn't provide help to support non-free driver"
> This attitude let the newbie circumspect & helpless
2) The tone was way too much categorical!
> which is confusing for someone coming to Linux especially for the "freedom aspect"

No other choice left than buying a new component... or drop their distro!
Choice has been quickly made...

So I fully agree with Jesse's review (April'23) on his second tought that: "it's a shame I'll probably never be able to use Trisquel as my daily operating system. It's unfortunate, but most devices these days need non-free firmware to access the Internet and are not much use without this key feature."

Even almost 10 years after, I still have the feeling that their diktat ends in a "lose-lose" situation.

Trisquel is great !

I tried this version today, that is 28th March 2023. The size of the iso I choosen is 3.1GB.

I use a USB stick, with ventoy.

My computer is quite old, using DDR ram version 3.

This Operating System is super fast!

The version of Browser is 110, almost the most updated browser.

The welcome screen will pop up in seconds, it looks good, it works fine.

The system comes with Libreoffice. It is a lovely Operating System to me. Thanks a lot !

One of my favorite distros so far. It's a fully free and open source distro.

If the default font size is a little bigger, that will be great!
