In my experience, Debian is "respecting my freedom" by stripping
out binary blobs, thus making the distro more and more difficult to
install. I am running into more problems with simple network cards
than I used to, which is irritating. So yes: there are some things that
don't "just work", as Darcy hinted.

The moral of this story is probably "Don't use Debian" but la la la
I'm not listening.
