Hello, i found a proprietary program in trisquel 11.
It has something to do with the graphics, i do not remember.
For more info check the video here: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=PXqcHi2fkXI
PS: I posted it here so new users do not get away from trisquel thinking it can have more proprietary programs.

https://trisquel.info/en/forum/missing-program-and-other-problems

may also show that https://minetest.net as well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minetest

has a repository that contains non-floss/proprietary programs. And provides help downloading those since 5.0.0.

The missing-program-and-other-problems link also shows a missing program, xiphos.

There may be software that https://www.hyperbola.info/
shows in Trisquel Gnu/Linux that could also have non-floss problems.

wrong forum now so, this this is why I'm putting this in "The Troll Lounge" part and not in a bug report part.

though

GNU LibreJS shows

"

So you may also wish to block those scripts with GNU LibreJS.

You can help report problems and earn gnu bucks.

https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html shows

"
Nor should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not committed to only including free software; even if they only have free software today, that may not be true tomorrow.
"

Though the one the minetest client points to does not only include freedom supporting software.

Though at https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/extra.git/tree/minetest

there is a libre.patch

that could help Trisquel.

Well played OP, I must admit, the first time I saw this, I was very entertained.

I wonder whatever happened to that weird dude Jodiendo...

He was fun most of the time on this forum. ;)
