Debian has a repository of non-free software, but it is disabled by default. Some of the free software in their main repository recommends and installs other software which is non-free, but the main repository does not contain any non-free drivers or firmware, and the default kernel is deblobbed. Therefore, although Debian does have some freedom issues, if a piece of hardware works in Debian without enabling the non-free repository then it should work without non-free drivers or firmware on Trisquel as well. Ubuntu is a different story. Their default kernel has blobs, and their non-free repositories are enabled by default, so just because a piece of hardware works with Ubuntu does not mean it will work with Trisquel. > > I can't find a pen tablet called "kumadori".

Does the vendor have their own website? Can you link to it? If it is a very new device then it is likely that there will not be a free Linux driver yet, but I can check if I have more information about the model.
