Using the "unofficial" Debian non-free installer and packages will cover most of the gap. Ubuntu still allows more packages in than Debian will. - https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/ https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images... and apt config: deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free The non-free installer is separated from the "official" installer though. There is a general push to "fix" the multiple installer issue, but I think how exactly to fix it is still up in the air. The listed winner in the 2022 vote to "Change <the debian social contract> for non-free firmware in installer, one installer" also notes it needs a 3:1 majority (but I don't know much about the machinations of Debian policy/voting). - https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003 https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003
