its not different than install mint really.
You can have the same MATE desktop that Mint offers or LXDE so the experience is virtually identical.
LibeBoot is more complicated to replace your BIOS with but ThinkPads support it.
Here Richard Stallman talks about the dangers of proprietary distributions like Ubuntu and Linux mint.
Libreboot only works on some very specific models, and requires an external flasher. Which can result in a bricked device.
Trisquel is the extreme end of the FSF ethos which refuses to use any software which is not fully open, including device drivers, rendering many devices inoperable. You need to know in advance what all of your devices are, what drivers they require, and if there are fully open drivers available before installing.

Great explanation, thanks. Someone like me would be asking for trouble if i tried all that.
I appreciate people like Richard Stallman, the FSF and the all or nothing, absolute stance they take. We need these kinds of examples. But they don’t always understand the need for progressive movements toward a goal for the rest of us.
