You may find this useful, then: https://www.debian.org/News/2014/20140908 There are very simple ways to quickly check whether your system can run free software only, just use a live distribution which is free: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html or debian with the main repository active and nothing else (no contrib, no non-free). In this way, by simply booting from cd or usb and not even touching your laptop, you can find out which bit of your hardware will require proprietary software/firmware to run. There is a hardware database, you may want to contribute your bit to it, to the benefit of everybody else: https://www.h-node.org/ Free hardware is a much more serious problem than free software. The join project between fsf and debian is really welcome, and will help people to learn about their hardware and the meaning of "free", as a side effect.
