No, Debian is not free. I have been virtualizing Debian and various Debian
respins on aqemu for quite some time and I see programs in the Debian Free
repository that are not in Trisquel and threads on the forum explaining why
they are not there.
If wireless is your only issue, as it was for my laptops, that's an easy fix.
If you can't afford the wireless adaptor from Thinkpenguin at the present
time, check out this list on h-node:

and see what's available used on eBay; I think I paid $10 each for mine.
