What about disgrete vga? Once upon a time gpu that had firmware inside his rom, without the need to install on your os, so i can run trisquel or any distro without installing non free software.
Afaik from nvidia everything works untill kepler, but what about amd? what is the lastest vga family that do not require to enable non free firmware in the os?

No, you are out of luck with AMD GPU's. They require the firmware blob present in the kernel, which isn't free and so removed from the kernel Trisquel uses. Without it you'll get an error message. Shame, since the drivers are actually free. PureOS has exactly the same issue.
