    Hasn’t Debian relaxed its stance and now allows you to fairly easily use nonfree software?

      yes, I think the main thing is when the nonfree firmware was included (user can opt-out) as a default at install. So out of the box support for most common hardware became way better.

      It was always pretty easy to add nonfree repositories, but having to manually sort out wifi firmware after an install was a pain.

      Yes this meme is dated. You can run proprietary stuff in bookworm with just a couple of check boxes.
