     That really sucks... I've found #debian to be pretty stable. When I don't want to mess with stuff, I just jump to !trisquel

     @windigo, @vinzv i mostly use #debian because i like the social contract and because it's super stable once i get it set up (at least #jessie is). my little netbook isn't performant enough to run !trisquel well and i'm always afraid of brea…

     I did not but LXDE isn't my cup of tea. I'm an XFCE fan. The standard Trisquel with XFCE installed on top of it was sluggish. I may build a live USB and try the mini version. Thanks for the tip.

     Downloading it now! I'm really attached to Debian due to the social contract but I'm super attached to Trisquel due to its ootb behaviour. #freesoftwareproblems

     Somewhat related, do you know if !trisquel is going to pick up Ubuntu's new package manager or switch to something else?

     @cmhobbs I loved Debian in the form of Crunchbang, but I think I don't understand the internals of X to go mucking about myself. :(

     @vinzv maybe #guix will catch up by then

     I use the package manager currently and that side of things is really great for what I do. I'm excited to see a release.

     I'm putting Trisquel Mini on a USB stick now. This should be fun.
