[p]
I couldn't use Debian with GNOME 3 because the box with Trisquel 6.0. screen always displays [b]weird artifacts, and freezes[/b] in the login screen. I decided to reinstall Debian and chose MATE as the desktop environment, which is less graphic-intensive than GNOME 3, and the system is usable in this way. However, there are occasional freezes.[/p]
[p]With [p]Even though I can use the new nouveau merged into Linux-libre 3.0.0, system with MATE, I [b]can't use[/b] applications such as Blender, SuperTux Kart, and other [b]3D applications[/b]. Nor can I use 3D in the acceleration goes pretty well. I don't need anymore Web browser. These things, however, are possible using the libgl1-mesa-experimental or something like that. 0ad from wildfiregames.com runs good, everything is fine now.
