From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Promoting some kind of help between H-Node and Debian would be great.
There is also other project for Linux Hardware in which you can share reports of things working through the own application.
I also think that some Linux Libre patches for including some Free Firmware by default or initialization without firmware in some cases (there are some AMDGPU graphics cards that can work with Linux Libre perfectly) should be included as well.
For the rest, I agree with the current model.
NonFree firmware separated completely but allowed to be load if really needed.
