Coming more than two years after the Trisquel GNU/Linux 8.0 LTS Flidas release, which is still supported with security updates until April 2021, Trisquel GNU/Linux 9.0 is dubbed Etiona (continuing the distro’s tradition to name new releases from the Celtic mythology) and promises to be one of the most polished releases so far, but also the most up to date. Trisquel GNU/Linux 9.0 is based on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and it’s powered by the GNU Linux-libre kernel. To offer users a 100% free operating system, it uses a version of Ubuntu’s 4.15 kernel that doesn’t contain any proprietary code.
