Trisquel is home to a ton of software and I generally stay within the repos.

However I use some of out repo software and was wondering if anyone had any other favorites I may not know about.

My favorite out of repo software is the SeaMonkey Internet Suite, a semi-official continuation of the Mozilla Internet Suite:

I am running a Seafile server, that I find extremely convenient to synchronize files across computers. I use it also a bit to share photos with my family.

Seafile client is in Trisquel's repository but server has no package (also not for Debian). I do not follow the recommendation from Seafile documentation to use docker, it works fine using all the dependencies from Trisquel's repository (nginx, mariadb and some libraries).

I would say Xournal++ (a "handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support") for work and Popcorn time (a "torrent streaming program") for leisure:

On which device do you use that?

I was using it with a "One by Wacom Small" (one of the cheapest pen tablet) on Trisquel 9 and now on Debian 11.

For debian based repos, jwmkit, for Hyperbola, there have been quite a few, but now they are all added, to my knowledge...

Well, except rclone and that's about it...

I am probably biased but Linux-libre - It's hard to use a computer without a kernel, and a free one at that. Then other things like GCC and binutils because you can't build a kernel without a toolchain. My daily things are mutt and irssi inside GNU Screen because we all need a terminal multiplexer. Especially when it's just you and a blinking cursor. :)

I use that specifically, for Gnuinos...

Which is still working on becoming libre, but I use it primarily because it has icecat. :)

Aka, the distro...

The kernel I use, because it is way more stable in my opinion then the debian one.

Merci.

Shortly I was hoping for a tablet with display solution for GNU/linux...
