That's for the time being, next computer I buy will be fully supported by free software.

Installing this takes away your freedoms (beside going against the goal of this distribution for the same reason). If the drivers are not available on the Kernel it is for 2 reasons:

1 - It is not available yet.

2 - It is a non-free driver/firmware that has been removed.

This is why Trisquel don't promote methods like this.

Thank you for understanding.

Please do not provide instructions for the installation of non-free software on the Trisquel forums. Per the Community Guidelines: Non-Free software is never a solution so please do not rationalize, justify, or minimize the consequences of proposing non-free software as a solution.
