Hi Robert, Yes, an Operating System that is GPL license with the Graphical interface and not just the text base.
The LibreOffice office was remove when i purge the contrib. But Calligra suite was not remove. As i mention earlier i only have the main in the sources.list. Debian testing is running the linux-libre kernel. Do i have to move to trisquel ?
