Trisquel is designed to run free (as in meets FSF guidelines)
software, only. This means, noone in the community will help with
or support the use of non-free device drivers, such as the Intel
Wifi chipset, or applications that won't meet the guidelines; this
includes Adobe Flash, and, maybe Telegram, but I'm not positive on
this one. The Atheros 9000 wifi chipset works with Trisquel; if
you need something else, I suggest Debiamn, with the non-free and
contrib repos enabled.
For its desktop, Trisquel 7 uses a modified version of GNOME
Fallback 3.10 (taken from Ubuntu 14.04. I find it one of the most
accessible and performant de I've used. The current orca is 3.12;
you'd want to add the accessibility ppa to get later orca and
dependencies.
Trisquel 8 is in pre-release, and has Mate 1.12 and orca 3.18
(taken from Ubuntu 16.04). To try Trisquel 8, Go and grab the live
image.
