    My response to that is

    Not Anymore

    In the sense that woth Debian 12, proprietary drivers are included OOTB, so at this point, even that is no longer an argument against Debian.

      I will say this, I have a newer laptop that required manually installing a realtek wifi driver. I’m fine with that, but I know not everyone is, and I know it’s already included in more up to date distros (Arch needed no setup on the same laptop, I’d imagine it’s the same story with Ubuntu being more recent). So I get not wanting to go with Debian, I just used it as a base example of a “purer” OS. I guess Mint might have been a better alternative to use for my specific questiom.
