My hope is that when moving the NVMe with my installed system from one
computer to another it still boots into the graphical desktop and has WiFi
and Ethernet.
Indeed it's a longstanding property of a default Ubuntu installation
that does not use proprietary drivers that this is possible. Please do
not break that.
It's been a very long time since there has been any modern hardware that
"requires" proprietary wifi drivers.
The only hardware I know of is Broadcom "WL" which is 15+ years old.
Note that there are other packages in a similar category. For example
both amd64-microcode and intel-microcode are reverse Depends (not
Recommends) of linux-image-generic in Noble.
