• Maryland will hand out 133,000 Chromebooks to the public

  > a vendor locked in Chromebook Choose your poison. Macbooks are tightly knit with Apple and phone home, but are absurdly expensive and people pay for the privilege of getting spied on. Same with Chromebooks: we're just another datapoint for Google, and much more data is collected. Why not hand out Thinkpads flashed with Trisquel Linux[0]? (A Libre Linux that respects privacy?). And don't get me started on Windows... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• What's your take on privacy focused services?

  Not a 'service' but Trisquel OS is a fully freedom-respecting and privacy-aware distro, and has no telemetry or phoning home. Source: 11 months ago

• Returning my ReMarkable 2

  I don't own a cell phone and my computer is entirely free, its BIOS replaced with libreboot running Trisquel, a 100% free-software operating system. Others can do this, too, if they really want the freedom. It is not hard, nor does it require expertise. It only requires the will to do it. Source: 11 months ago

• I like Ubuntu but not it's telemetry, any recomendations for distro?

  There's Trisquel, which is a GNU approved distro based on Ubuntu with all the non-free stuff removed. Otherwise I'd suggest something Debian or Devuan based, like MX Linux or Refracta. Source: about 1 year ago

• What do you think are the biggest issues the Linux desktop has?

• Need help with installing Ubuntu as a dual boot

  From what I understand, the boot EFI partition has become corrupted. In this case The easiest thing to do Is to download ventoy and install it in a flash drive Then put in this ISO, boot it and do the repair Https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ If that doesn't work then I should rebuild the efi partition and then restore the bootloader.

• I'm trying to boot boot-repair from a usb stick, and it's stuck after: [Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-premount ... done.]. (Please it's been two weeks and I'm battling my pc)

  I flashed the boot repair ISO (64 bit) onto a usb drive using Balena Etcher. It was a normal morning, around 3 am, I had just turned off my pc (Ubuntu 22.04) normally, then the next day, it gave me this error: End kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does it make any sense to keep recovery partitions after formatting?

  If you altered the MBR but haven't deleted the recovery partition, you can make it bootable again by installing GRUB and os-prober (for example with the Boot-Repair disk). Depending on the type of recovery partition, it either comes up as "Windows Recovery Environment" or just "Windows 7", so don't confuse it with a standard Windows 7 installation.

• how do I enter windows 10 when stuck in Linux grub while booting? (please read the description)

  If you have a system you can download to, you might look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/. Source: about 2 years ago

• trouble installing deepin

  I had a similar problem when I tried to install neon on a btrfs formatted drive. I'm not familiar with uefi though. You could try the boot repair disc https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ . The problem is that some packages normally get deleted after bootloader is installed, which won't happen here. You might need to remove them manually. That says my solution is not perfect and shouldn't be your first... Source: about 2 years ago
