The chance is higher that there is no firmware for their hardware
installed. Not all new linux users are idiots, ymmv. So it might not be
wise to treat them like they are. The normal reaction will be: Check if
wifi is turned on, second (only for technical interested users) check
the installed firmware and swear if there is no firmware. And that it
was. Most likely now they load an image that works with their hardware
out of the box - chances are high that this next image is not debian and
never ever will be again.
Cheers Alf
