I'm sad to say that my new still needs non-free firmware blobs for working WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, and power management. Now will include those in the installer. Are we losing this fight? At least the graphics driver is and included in upstream Linux, that is progress. I specifically avoided for that purpose.

How are others feeling on the firmware blob fight?

@eighthave I hope that a lot of firmware will get open source just out of the legal requirement to provide multi-year updates. We will see how that will work out...

@Werhaus Yeah I think that is a great idea for regulation that can really provide a lot of benefits.
