That's really the nice thing about linux, as long as you know what you're doing you can probably get any distribution to work pretty much just as well for your own needs.
Interesting that they've started supporting closed source firmware.. I thought they were very much against that?
They're still very focused on having a primarily open source system, but they held a vote and it was decided that it's best for the computer to actually work and then try to be as open source as possible after that.
They did offer the firmware before, but you had to go out of your way to enable it and they didn't provide security updates, was considered unofficially supported. With this, they're considered officially supported, on by default if needed, and get security updates.
If you're curious about the vote they did, it was this one and Proposal E is what won. https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003#proposere
Stallman used to recommend Debian when it came to Linux I think.. wonder what he'll say now :)
