About Trisquel

Trisquel is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu LTS and recognised by the FSF (Free Software Foundation). It reuses Ubuntu packages and avoids using non-free packages. Thus, it uses the linux-libre kernel (like Parabola GNU/Linux). A new version development begins just after an Ubuntu LTS release. You have to wait about six months for the corresponding Trisquel version to be released.

Trisquel base version uses a GNOME 3 Flashback desktop environment.
