In one word, drivers.
Don't we mean: firmware. Nonfree firmware was removed from Debian main for
some silly reason. A lot of hardware needs it to function.
I agree. Having to install the firmware manually to get X11 working is a bit
Arthur Tuttlesque.
Why not go the whole hog and install Gentoo instead?
Guys, this is not tough. Just put "non-free" in your apt sources file line(s),
and you'll never see the difference. The firmware in not unencumbered; it's $free, but
not beer free. You can get it any time you ask for it.
Doesn't that necessitate being able to install the program first?
