No, as I said it was working during the install and wouldn't without the
firmware needed which was, non-free. I know what I'm doing and was able
to enable it. The point I'm making is that a novice user would have been
lost - Xfce4 isn't the most user friendly UI. That's why GNOME-Shell
should be the default. IMHO
Most users are going to be using relatively modern laptops that will run
it fine. Hell I've had a 10 year old laptop running Gnome-Shell just
fine prior.
