Fully agree here. Let me try to summarize the discussion so far: 1. We (at least the vast majority of expressions in this thread so far) agree that the installer images with non-free firmware should be less hidden. Ideally, there's a download page added to our website that prominently (and in short terms) explains why many might need to choose those images over the (politically prefered) fully free ones. 2. Apart from that, we should improve support and documentation for loading non-free firmware from an external medium in the free installer. 3. We should consider the a firmware subsection to non-free in our repositories. This would allow users to use non-free firmware while not adding sources for other non-free software on their systems.
