[$] Installing Debian on modern hardware
Wednesday January 20, 2021. 10:30 PM , from LWN.net
It is an unfortunate fact of life that non-free firmware blobs are required
to use some hardware, such as network devices (WiFi in particular), audio peripherals, and video cards. Beyond that, those blobs may even be required in order to install a Linux distribution, so an installation over the network may need to get non-free firmware directly from the installation media. That, as might be guessed, is a bit of a problem for distributions that are not willing to officially ship said firmware because of its non-free status, as a recent discussion in the Debian community shows.
