Trisquel 8 works fine!!! It's the FSF which doesn't.

I finally got into the memebers only forum.
But, still not sure about my XMPP thing OR
my mail alias thing name at domain

Anyway.. I've honestly had no trouble with Trisquel 8 .
Trisquel 8 runs better than Linux Mint or Slackware - for me....

Think I'll try and put coreboot on this ideapad and see if I can get away with it next. Perhaps that will be my first legitimate complaint then,...
