Trisquel Linux is a 100% free operating system without any proprietary software whatsoever. No binary-only firmware for wireless cards or proprietary drivers for AMD/ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards are included.
The distribution comes with a complete selection of programs that can be easily extended using a graphical installer. There are several editions available, including the “mini” edition for netbooks and old computers and the network based installer for custom and server installations. It’s derived from Ubuntu.
Trisquel comes ready for home and office use, and new programs are easy to find and install.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
The word “Trisquel” is Galician for “triple spiral”, which is a Celtic symbol.
