I've tried Skyscraper Simulator and the frame rate was abysmal. When i played it with MS Windows, the frame rate was fine. However, Trisquel is giving me a hard time. My Computer has 4GB of ram with intergrated graphics card. How come skyscrapersim is giving me a hard time on GNU/Linux? is there any solution?

We don't help people run proprietary games here. If you want a free town management game, try OpenTTD.

Wait a sec, is skyscrapersim nonfree? I didn't mean Transport tycoon. I actually meant this game right here:
http://www.skyscrapersim.com/index.shtml

And the description says the source code is under the GNU GPL, so how can it be non-free in any means? Look at the screenshot of the description of the aforementioned website. and i wasn't referring to transport tycoon or simcity, i was talking about an elevator simulator.

Okay, I apologize.

Back on topic: Intel graphics will be slower on Trisquel than on other (non-fully-libre) distributions because we don't ship proprietary microcode updates with the kernel (Linux-libre removes them). Expect a 30% performance loss.

Do CPU microcode updates really get distributed normally by the kernel? I was under the impression that this was something the BIOS does, and that in practice you never get updates past what was already there when you bought it.

To be more accurate, I think the distributions (Debian, Fedora) ship it in the form of packages.

I tried it with lubuntu and it still doesn't work! i guess it not the fault of the operating system!
