So I replaced my room mate's 7 or 8 year old laptop's OS which is Vista Basic with Trisquel Mini. Now, I only get a minimal OS, which is not what my room mate wants of course. So how should I get the GUI? Already did an update and upgrade, still no startx.
Trisquel Mini includes LXDE, so maybe you did the netinstall instead? Anyway, you can install the package trisquel-mini.
trisquel-mini only provides a barebone desktop environment. Add trisquel-mini-recommended and you get the full Trisquel Mini experience.
If the GUI still doesn't come up one thing you could try is https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-latest-backported-kernel-and-xserver
When installing trisquel via the netinstall iso you can choose install or not a GUI system as part of the installation process

There you can install a variety of preselected groups of programs, incluiding different desktop environments. This is done by tasksel

In a command line system, to run tasksel
$ sudo tasksel
And you will be able to choose 'Trisquel mini environment' or whatever you prefer.
