> The biggest headache with Debian was installing laptop workstations was that WiFi needing firmware blobs required complicated instructions and contortions that made it a million times harder. But that's now solved: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-in... And the official installer is going to provide the non-free firmware now (and non-free firmware will also be in a separate non-free-firmware section of the repositories so you won't need to enable the whole non-free section anymore) https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-12-Installer-Alpha-2 https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-12-Installer-Alpha-2
