I was considering moving to Trisquel (although, to be clear, I never downloaded anything related to it), so I'm not necessarily heartbroken, but I'm very unsure of what happened with this.

I used Ubuntu 14.04LTS for my work computer, and I decided to run an upgrade. When the upgrade was finished, I noticed that a lot of Ubuntu related things didn't work. I found out I now have Trisquel GNU/Linux.

I'm guessing I should probably back-up and do a fresh install, but does anybody have any insight on how this little bit of weirdness happened? I've never upgraded and woke up with a new distro before.

Anything here ring bells (in particular, do you have/use IceCat)? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2336038 – steeldriver Sep 23 '16 at 16:41
Okay, I do, in fact, use icecat...so that could be the culprit – Mascasc Sep 23 '16 at 18:23
Actually, that doesn't help me much...my /etc/lsb-release says Trisquel... – Mascasc Sep 23 '16 at 19:57
What apt sources do you have now? Did you have Trisquel sources at some point? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Sep 23 '16 at 20:15
I don't seem to have any Trisquel sources. – Mascasc Sep 25 '16 at 15:25
