I keep forgetting myself that this is not the stable release, just runs as it should already.
Even if I ignore all the Freedom aspects for a moment, it really is one of the most usable operating systems I have ever used. It is clear and to the point without all the other mess that seems to come with other distros and the bigger proprietory systems.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to install it. Or I might can, but it takes too damn long. Like it's already been more or less half an hour, the loading cursor even lags whenever I move it just to see if all goes well. I instead reinstalled 6.0.1, I'll just wait for the stable :)
Best bet really, 7 is still work in progress and the user experience does vary wildly still (can't install it on my Mac due to GRUB issue) but little updates here and there are solving these issues.
That said T6 is still very cool indeed.
It was Jxself who said this today
"It seems people expect Trisquel 7 to be fully polished and functional. People, please remember these two points:
1. Trisquel 7 is not finished yet.
2. If you find stuff missing/incomplete/outdated/whatever else see point 1"
I can say that running Trisquel 7 20140807 and it works great. It fills all my needs, in computing. T6.0.1 do not work because it do not support my network card. The easy way out was T7.
Jxself comment:
I do comments on problems I get so they can be fixed for the final release. And I comment on things that I think would be fixed or better in the final release, example the default look. Other people here have made comments about it also. I gave an example of LXDE to make it look better (In that example I did not look at the license of the icon pack I used). Many (not so computerish) people judge a dist by its default look (Login theme and default background in T7 looks great!). I think that is one reason Mint is so popular. I think people want a nice default look that they don't feel they need/must change.
Another thing I would like to point out:
Mr. Rodríguez cares about how the default desktop looks and I think that the Trisquel development team will prepare a new theme when the time comes.
Remembering what Jason Self posted on his blog: "Trisquel is beautiful". And I think he is right; even the gnome-terminal emulator has a very good looking profile by default in my opinion, and I liked it so much that I was trying to reproduce its feeling in my Debian system.
Well, that is my opinion about how the default apearence is. I see Gasrmith's point on why people feel attracted to Mint, but as I wrote in the previous paragraph, I think this distro doesn't have a lot to envy in that aspect.
And yes, Trisquel is one of the most usable GNU/linux distros out there; even more than Ubuntu itself because the Spanish project gets rid of the annoyances that the Canonical product has (lens, confusing interface, spying on users, etc....). The only problem I found for an average user is the fact that it's hard for them to unistall software.
All in all, I think Trisquel is a good example of what free software has to offer.
