Trisquel GNU/Linux is a computer operating system based on Ubuntu, with all of the nonfree components removed.[1] The project aims for a fully free software system without proprietary software or firmware and uses a free version of the Linux kernel as distributed by the Linux-libre project.[2] Trisquel relies on user donations.[3] Its logo is a triskelion.[4]

The project began in 2004 with sponsorship of the University of Vigo for Galician language support in educational software and was officially presented in April 2005 with Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU Project, as a special guest.[5] According to project director Rubén Rodríguez, the support for Galician has created interest in South American and Mexican communities of emigrants from the Province of Ourense.[6]

By December 2008, Trisquel GNU/Linux was included by the FSF in its list of GNU/Linux distributions endorsed by the Free Software Foundation.[7]

  1. ^ Long Term Support
  2. ^ Short Term Support

All versions include this common software:

  • Linux-libre kernel, 2.6.24 in Robur, 2.6.28 in Dwyn, 2.6.31 in Awen, 2.6.32 in Taranis, 2.6.35 in Slaine, 2.6.38 in Dagda, 3.0 in Brigantia and 3.2 in Toutatis.
  • GNOME desktop environment, 2.22 in Robur, 2.26 in Dwyn, 2.28 in Awen, 2.30 in Taranis, 2.32 in Slaine, 2.32 in Dagda, 3.2 in Brigantia and 3.4 in Toutatis. Instead of using GNOME Shell, Trisquel has GNOME Panel activated by default.[20]
  • A rebranded version of Firefox called "Abrowser" that never suggests non-free add-ons, and includes no trademarked art or names. Abrowser is rebranded because the Mozilla Trademark Policy forbids modifications that include their trademark without consent.[21] As Adobe Flash Player is proprietary software, Trisquel does not provide it, instead offering the Gnash SWF Viewer.[22]

Trisquel Mini

Trisquel Mini is an alternative to the mainline Trisquel, designed to run well on netbooks and aging hardware. It uses low-resource environment LXDE and lightweight GTK+ and X Window System alternatives to GNOME and Qt/KDE applications.[23]

Other editions

Trisquel LTSP classroom server, managed via iTALC.
Trisquel Pro
Trisquel Pro was a small business oriented operating system. It was part of the Trisquel 2.0 LTS Robur but no further releases have been made since.[24]
Trisquel Edu
Trisquel Edu was another Trisquel spin focused on providing educational packages for schools and universities. Like Trisquel Pro, no further releases have been made since Trisquel 2.0 Robur.[25]
Trisquel on Sugar
Trisquel on Sugar was based on the Sugar desktop environment for interactive learning for children. However, it was never released.[26]
Trisquel Gamer
Trisquel Gamer was an independent edition maintained by David Zaragoza. It came with 55 free software games and could be booted from a LiveDVD or USB drive. It was released along with Trisquel 3.5, which is no longer supported.[27]

Reception

Jesse Smith of DistroWatch reviewed the 4.0 release, Taranis, and described it as refined and dependable. He portrayed difficulty with removing software as his main problem with the release. Smith complimented Trisquel as an operating system that showcased utility instead of mere compliance with free software criteria.[1]

Jim Lynch of Desktop Linux Reviews reviewed the 5.5 release, Brigantia, and described it as "well-ordered and well developed" and recommended it to users whether they care about only using free software or not. Lynch stated that the release was suitable for beginners and advanced users.[20]

Chris Fisher and Matt Hartley of the The Linux Action Show! praised the design, ease of use, and hardware support of Trisquel 5.5 and Trisquel 5.5 Mini, but found that the Linux-libre kernel found in Trisquel impedes functionality of proprietary wireless devices. They argued that the distribution was targeting power users and that new users should use a different distribution.[28]
