I was thinking of getting a wifi card like that, but can’t seem to find any.

    I got an Atheros card, which is fine for WiFi on Debian 12 and was cheap to buy. Drivers were in the Debian foss repo. Bluetooth is not working on it though. Interestingly, the Bluetooth did work under PureOS but I never figured out why.

      The bluetooth probably needs a non-free firmware blob, as most of them do.

        Yeah maybe. I would expect PureOS to come with less non-free components though, being that it’s endorsed by the FSF. I was quite surprised that BT was not working after switching to Debian.
