Debian 可能会考虑在官方版本中包含非自由固件
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
> Debian 会考虑在官方版本中添加非自由固件吗？如果他们想解决 Debian 开发人员重点提出的问题，这似乎是一种可能性。

|
||||
|
||||
由于 Debian 的稳定性和新功能之间的平衡，它是最受欢迎的 Linux 发行版之一。
|
||||
|
||||
此外，它不附带任何非自由固件。
|
||||
|
||||
但是，对于想要在较新硬件上使用 Debian 的用户来说，这已成为一个问题。
|
||||
|
||||
大多数最新的设备和配置都需要非自由固件才能正常工作，其中包括 Wi-Fi、图形等。
|
||||
|
||||
为了解决这个问题，Debian 开发人员、前 Debian 项目负责人 Steve McIntyre 已经积极讨论了一段时间。
|
||||
|
||||
正如 [Geeker's Digest][2] 所发现的，在 DebConf 22 会议上，Steve 最近向用户和开发人员着重谈到了修复固件混乱这件事。
|
||||
|
||||
### 在官方版本中包含非免费固件
|
||||
|
||||
至于目前的情况，你可以找到带有非自由固件的非官方 Debian 镜像。
|
||||
|
||||
然而，并不是每个用户都知道它，即使它在 Debian 的下载页面上被宣传，“非官方”也不是用户更喜欢推荐的镜像的东西。
|
||||
|
||||
此外，当用户可以选择 Ubuntu 或任何基于 Ubuntu 的发行版作为替代方案时，期望用户安装非自由固件也是违反直觉的。
|
||||
|
||||
不仅限于这些问题，Steve 在他的 [博客][3] 中还提到了其他一些问题，包括：
|
||||
|
||||
* 维护单独的非自由镜像非常耗时。
|
||||
* 由于缺乏非自由固件，许多用户不喜欢官方镜像。
|
||||
|
||||
如果我们希望更多用户在通用硬件上使用 Debian，Steve 建议尽早解决这个问题。
|
||||
|
||||
可能会通过安装程序中的提示让用户安装非自由固件，类似于 Ubuntu 所做的。
|
||||
|
||||
此外，在他在 DebConf 22 的演讲中，似乎大多数开发人员投票支持在官方 Debian 镜像中添加非自由固件。
|
||||
|
||||
随着他重点提出这件事，Steve 得到了寻找解决这个问题的社区用户/开发人员的更多关注。
|
||||
|
||||
**简单/方便的出路**：在官方发布的镜像中添加非自由固件。
|
||||
|
||||
那么，Debian 最终会在其新版本中添加对非自由固件的支持吗？ Debian 12 会让这成为现实吗？
|
||||
|
||||
在下面的评论中分享你的想法。

Debian May Consider Including Non-Free Firmware in Official Releases
|
||||
======
|
||||
Will Debian consider adding non-free firmware in official releases? It seems like a possibility, if they want to fix the issues highlighted by Debian’s developer.
|
||||
|
||||
![debian][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Debian is one of the most loved Linux distributions for its approach to stability and a balance between new features.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, it does not come with any non-free firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
However, that is becoming an issue for users who want to use Debian on newer hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the latest devices and configurations need non-free firmware to make things work, which includes Wi-Fi, graphics, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
And to address that, **Steve McIntyre**, a Debian developer and a former Debian project leader, has been actively discussing the issue for a while.
|
||||
|
||||
At the**DebConf 22 conference**, Steve recently talked about fixing the firmware mess to highlight this better to users and developers, as spotted by [Geeker’s Digest][2].
|
||||
|
||||
### Including Non-Free Firmware in Official Releases
|
||||
|
||||
As for the current situation, you can find an unofficial Debian image with non-free firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
However, not every user is aware of it, and even if it is promoted on Debian’s download page, “unofficial” is not something a user will prefer over the recommended image.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, it is counter-intuitive to expect users to install non-free firmware when they can choose any Ubuntu-based distribution or Ubuntu as an alternative.
|
||||
|
||||
Not just limited to these issues, Steve mentions a few other problems with it in his [blog][3] that include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Maintaining separate non-free images is time-consuming.
|
||||
* The official images are not preferred by many users because of the lack of non-free firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
Steve proposes that this mess be fixed sooner than later if we want more users to use Debian on common hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
Potentially through a prompt in the installer for users to install non-free firmware, similar to what Ubuntu does.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, in his talk at DebConf 22, it seems that most of the developers voted to add non-free firmware in official Debian images.
|
||||
|
||||
And with the recent highlight, Steve has gotten more attention from users/developers to find a solution to this problem as a community.
|
||||
|
||||
**The easy/convenient way out**: adding non-free firmware in official release images.
|
||||
|
||||
*So, will Debian finally add support for non-free firmware in its newer releases? Will Debian 12 make this a reality?*
|
||||
|
||||
*Share your thoughts in the comments down below.*
