I got rid of Google easily. Unfortunately, I still have to use their Messages app for Rcs, and Youtube. But replaced all the other products.

I also tried GNU Guix distro when was looking for a free distro. But the Guix package manager was too slow to be usable. So I went to Trisquel.

I prefer Mint over Ubuntu because of the default desktop environment. Also, in Mint you can unintall apps directly from menu with right-click-uninstall.

First time hearing about this license. This is free, too. So good job for changing it!

Agree, a 100% free distro should be the default in schools. And free programs. No proprietary app should exist on computers.
