This installation went as smoothly as it could have done. No hang-up on
parts that use the internet connection, as many have reported in
previous versions. I used the advanced partition setup, in order to
keep my home directory from a previous installation of 6.0 Beta. Orca's
working nicely (on GDM and the user's desktop). On the first run of
this new installation, I noticed that the volume was all the way down;
I'll see what happens when I have to restart. The desktop, menus,
panel, and control center seem fully navigable, with the known problem
of Orca not speaking when focus lands on the indicator applet.
Great Job, All!

Yea- it definitely seems to be coming along. It looks good, installs without issue, and has got the hardware support we want. Even the AR9170 chipset is working out of the box which was one of the concerns I have (it's the only USB N chipset with a free driver at the moment).
The other minor issue I found was that while the dialer program was included in Trisquel 5.5 it doesn't actually work without setting the appropriate permissions. I actually tested it because we started selling a dial-up modem. There are still some people who need this.
If Trisquel fixed this it would be one of the few distributions with good dial-up modem support.
There may also be a case for floppy drives. I'm less concerned about this though. However I'm very concerned about improving the quality of users experience with GNU/Linux and things like this should work for non-technical users even if we don't consider them important any more.
Can anyone confirm if the boot graphical bug from (at least) the nouveau was fixed ?
And how about the shutdown time ? On Ubuntu it takes 3 seconds, but on Trisquel almost 10 on a fresh install.

Startup and shutdown times are still a bit longer than those of Ubuntu.
:S... I remember the time when Arch Linux had a bigger time on shutdown and startup than Ubuntu.. then with SystemD all changed, and now it is Trisquel to have the slowest Startup and Shutdown..
The only think that I've noticed is that, when I use the Trisquel's grub I have the splash screen and a loading of 1 minute, but when I use the arch linux grub, I don't have the splash screen (once again on Trisquel) but have a boot of 20 seconds...
So maybe there is something not well configured.
Thank you for the information !
