He's extreme in his views but I respect the fact that he won't bend. Most people see him as unrealistic but to his credit, he believes in his stance so deeply that he's unwilling to compromise and the ersult is a number of distributions which follows his philosophies very closely and which happen to perform extraordinarily well. I am very fond of Trisquel in particular and if I didn't game at all or have a powerful GPU on my laptop, I probably would be using it. - -- Silver Slimer Islam is a disease Gab.AI: @silverslimer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJX+5TAAAoJEIwFfgf/rr+usCUH/1EUfi1j6TirGlW3uJpGU3X1 2rctZ8ExWaQY/+aBWzXsGXPyFdnUI5SSXjSK2h+OH1ZN06NpWBnf4+eMmuVj4bDW Pr7dSSvYdgy/Jzoq3ngV9DSaltjgiL1riXSifbGrEzLE37QvgxKgBMHlzv9NCWCY 3lbMLrDKJmhZ87NSfkSGpWL9FzoHS02raJHGMfpP/xvyYmbakekFtuFhNIH4B0NQ 2iZdLhq4pGOxH8sMyKkZONyOiiXNgnRI7C2Fkt3Sy9G26qBK8UQUXdnVfE7zUY95 Lo1d1QkMMz756GszBDG2iqSf+revSv/gUvq6EY5+n3ycZoqlkg7bX3Dd7Sywafg= =uNkd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
