I finally managed to install Trisquel 8. But it was quite hard to install and run. Any solutions?

Okay, maybe we can be more constructive in this thread. I was worried about it because even installing it was hard on my system.
I installed from http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/.
1. I installed on a 64-bit UEFI computer with a USB. I couldn't even load it without creating a "UEFI-only" USB flash, which I didn't have to do for regular Ubuntu (https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb).
2. The installer crashed, and I had to use a boot repair program to make Trisquel bootable (https://trisquel.info/files/Screenshot%20at%202016-12-26%2023:00:45.png).
3. I could NOT access any website that didn't have a security certificate. About half the websites I visited were blocked. I managed to fix this by messing with network settings and restarting, though I was throwing solutions at the wall and hoping they would stick.
4. There is no Trisquel splash screen, but this should be an easy fix for the experienced. I would not know how to fix it.

The Trisquel 8 image, dated June 19, will not boot on 3 of my machines, only one of which has uefi. Uruk 32-bit installs on one machine, but neither Uruk image will install on my machine having uefi. It runs on all machines, from the live environment. I've switched one machine to Debian, using only the main repo. Trisquel 8 and Uruk will have to wait, I suppose.
I had the same experience as Dave. As reported on another thread, I used Disks to make a Trisquel 8 alpha live disk on a USB, but it woudn't boot at all on either of my oldish laptops (non-UEFI). It seems like I have a choice between switching to Debian, or continuing with Trisquel 7 (and maybe trying Guix).
I wonder if one has to pit the disk image directly using GNU `dd'
instead of Disks.

I had a completely different experience with Trisquel 8. I am using a recent hardware. The installation went well and the only trick that I had to use was to partition the disk manually.
All is working perfectly. Browsing is perfect, watching video in youtube is very smooth. Wifi is very fast. I reached 7/8 Mbytes/s downloading things with an available bandwidth of 100Mbits/s at home. I use intensive graphical programs like blender, I am programming, following linux from scratch and all work smoothly. I am very happy and I am using it every day.
I'm sorry but you didn't install Trisquel 8, you have installed Trisquel 8 Alpha. That is why you are having all these problems! Wait for the official release of Trisquel 8, which is going to happen probably at 2020 year
