Hi,
I've been working as a Linux trainer for the last two decades. I'm
currently transitioning to Debian, after using systems like RHEL clones,
SUSE, etc.
Usually I recommend firing up a Linux Live system to get a first
impression if the hardware is compatible.
As far as I can tell, Debian has reimplemented non-free firmware in the
installer since Debian 12 Bookworm. I've tested this in Debian 13
Trixie's installer, and loading non-free firmware from within the
installer is a trivial task.
But what about the Live systems ? Say I'm using the Debian 13 Live KDE
system. Does this include non-free firmware ?
According to the information found here it doesn't:
https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/amd64/ch03s03.en.html
I'm a bit puzzled. This would mean that some hardware like wireless
cards wouldn't work with the Live version (due to missing non-free
firmware) but would work once the system is installed using the Debian
installer.
Any suggestions ?
Niki
