Once more I'm concluding that not including non-free firmware on installer images for linux distributions (yes, @debian, looking at you), is extremely self defeating. It's ridiculous to see a harder time installing a nearly entirely free system as a win for software freedom.

New laptop without a working ethernet port (only via optional adapter, for thinness) and with a intel wifi card. I could easily work around it (had already ordered a thunderbolt 10gbe ethernet card) - but most people would long have given up at that point.

They do include it, and distribute it. It's just unofficial because they can't support it. Never bothered me, just gotta know to google for the "non-free" Debian download cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unoffi…

Good point - but still doesn't address my point that this just makes live harder for people that aren't experienced.
