'''Trisquel GNU/Linux''' is an [[operating system]] based on the [[Linux distribution]] [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]].<ref name="DW">{{cite web |url=http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20101004#feature |title=Trisquel GNU/Linux - a free distribution |last=Smith |first=Jesse |date=October 4, 2010 |publisher=[[DistroWatch]] |accessdate=September 13, 2012}}</ref> The project aims for a [[free software]] system without [[proprietary software]] or [[firmware]] and uses a free version of the [[Linux kernel]] as distributed by the [[Linux-libre]] project.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.linux-magazin.de/content/view/full/62442 |title=Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.0 verfügbar |language=German |trans_title=Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.0 available |last=Huber |first=Mathias |date=September 9, 2011 |publisher=[[Linux-Magazin]] |accessdate=September 13, 2012}}</ref> Trisquel relies on user donations.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.elcomercio.com/tecnologia/factores-usar-software_0_682131910.html |title=Siete factores antes de usar 'software' |language=Spanish |date=April 14, 2012 |publisher=[[El Comercio (Ecuador)|''El Comercio'']] |accessdate=September 13, 2012}}</ref> Its logo is a [[triskelion]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://trisquel.info/en/how-trisquel-pronounced |title=How is "Trisquel" pronounced? |publisher=The Trisquel Project |accessdate=September 14, 2012}}</ref>

The project began in 2004 with sponsorship of the [[University of Vigo]] for [[Galician language]] support in educational software and was officially presented in April 2005 with [[Richard Stallman]], founder of the [[GNU Project]], as a special guest.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/hemeroteca/2005/04/28/3679855.shtml | title = Richard Stallman, defensor del software libre, sorprendió a los universitarios | language = Spanish | date = April 28, 2005 | publisher = ''[[La Voz de Galicia]]'' | accessdate=November 26, 2008}}</ref> According to project director Rubén Rodríguez, the support for Galician has created interest in South American and Mexican communities of emigrants from the [[Province of Ourense]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://elprogreso.galiciae.com/nova/719.html |title=Software libre da terra, compartindo cultura |language=Galician |last=García |first=Ana |date=May 17, 2007 |publisher=[[El Progreso (Spain)|''El Progreso'']] |accessdate=September 13, 2012}}</ref>

* A version of [[Firefox]] that never suggests non-free [[Plug-in (computing)|add-ons]], and includes no [[trademark]]ed art or names.

==Reception==
Jesse Smith of [[DistroWatch]] reviewed the 4.0 release, Taranis, and described it as refined and dependable. He portrayed difficulty with removing software as his main problem with the release. Smith complemented Trisquel as an operating system that showcased utility instead of mere compliance with free software criteria.<ref name="DW" />

Jim Lynch of Desktop Linux Reviews reviewed the 5.5 release, Brigantia, and described it as "well-ordered and well developed" and recommended it to users whether they care about only using free software or not. Lynch stated that the release was suitable for beginners and advanced users.<ref name="Lynch24April12">{{cite news |url=http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2012/04/24/trisquel-5-5/all/1/ |title=Trisquel 5.5 |accessdate=April 28, 2012 |last = Lynch |first = Jim |date=April 24, 2012 |publisher=Desktop Linux Reviews}}</ref>

Chris Fisher and Matt Hartley of the [[The Linux Action Show!]] praised the design, ease of use, and hardware support of Trisquel 5.5 and Trisquel 5.5 Mini, but found the Trisquel online community argumentative and firmware restrictions impeding functionality of wireless devices. They argued that the distribution was targeting [[power user]]s and that new users should use a different distribution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/23996/trisquel-gnulinux-review-las-s23e05/ |title=Trisquel GNU/Linux Review - LAS - s23e05 |last1=Fisher |first1=Chris |last2=Hartley |first2=Matt |date=September 2, 2012 |publisher=[[Jupiter Broadcasting]] |accessdate=September 13, 2012}}</ref>
