hi, thanks to all of you making installations with non-free firmwares more bearable and finally enjoyable!

I just have a comment on the term, and it's probably too late and too invasive, but anyway: 'official' and 'inofficial' are IMO the wrong terms here, it would be better to call them what they are: Debian main/free installation images and Debian main&non-free installation images. As I see it, Debian does a release. Or a main release if you like to call it more descriptive. And a non-free release. Calling that non-free release 'inofficial' is IMO besides the point and non-helpful if too many people need those. And they need them, not because unofficial stuff is cool or better, but because those non-free firmwares are included! So, I'd call those images the "Debian main images" and the "Debian main images with non-free firmwares". But maybe besides being too late for this change, this change is also not just editorial / a question of language, but a political stance. But I also think naming things correctly is 'the right thing to do' and part of the excellence we strive for. So, bookworm material maybe? -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Society: Be Yourself!
