Trisquel's dead? That's kinda sad. For a rasperry pi laptop, I'd either use a minimal install of arch arm or some shit like xubuntu/lubuntu.

this, I have Arch ARM on my Pi and it runs great

Is raspbian that bad? I've got a couple of pi projects lined up and was going to use raspbian for all of them, but do other distros have significant advantages over it?

It's fine but comes with just a bit of bloatware, no worse than most distros + DEs, but it's better to use some lightweight distro (like Arch ARM) with no DE

Trisquel is based off the LTS version of Ubuntu. That being said, I'd prefer something like Arch as the others mentioned. If you cared about free software, you could convert it to Parabola.

oh right, I would have thought a distro made specifically for a pi would be lightweight but apparently not. I use arch on my main computer but I'm still considering changing as bloat isn't really an issue with more powerful computers and I don't want my distro to become a timesink like so many people here suggest it is.

It's pretty lightweight but I think it's more made for the average user to have an easy computer out of the box than it is made to be lightweight if that makes sense

also I use Arch and it seems to me that all the people who claim it's a timesink never used it. Sure it takes a little time to set up (and still not even that much) then from there maintenance is not time-consuming at all
