   If you want to run MacOS or Windows you will buy hardware for that purpose.

   Although GNU/Linux runs practically on most machines. We should have the same mindset: Buying Libre Hardware for a Libre System.

   RESOURCE: H-Node

   @georgengelmann that's weird, most of the times AMD cards are the troublesome. If possible try the netinstall, or check h-node.org, in the Search page you can fill the out put of the terminal and search for reviews on the hardware if someone has tested it before.

   In case there no info about your card, it would help us to know more details on it.

   I can help you in real time using the official Trisquel IRC or the unofficial Matrix one

   Cheers!

   But putting up these barriers of entry to most simply restricts new usersThe FSF is aware of this. That's why they have the freedom ladder campaign where you slowly work up from fully proprietary computing to fully free computing.
   I'm sure we'd both rather people used Trisquel than Ubuntu being usedIf you distributed Trisquel but included all the nonfree blobs with it, it would honestly be no different than using Ubuntu so no.
   I'd imagine the average experience of a brand new FSF user is going to the recommended page, downloading a random one on the list, then being confused when it doesn't detect WIFI on the installer setup.I don't think this will happen. All the FSF endorsed distros clearly state in their documentation that hardware that requires proprietary drivers is not supposed, usually specifically listing WiFi cards and such as well. The FSF also recommends people to look up all you hardware on h-node.org
   
   If people run into issues while ignoring all documentation I don't think you can really blame that on the FSF or these distros.

   It's the most stable *buntu based distro out there.
   I add hardware compatibility to h-node.org when I can.
