Why do you use mobian?

[TRS-80]

Like Zeb (and others) I have been using Debian already for a while.

But why do I use Debian? Besides their famous stability (and huge user base), I agree with their politics.

I think they strike the perfect balance, of not preventing you from doing anything, while still making clear who the guilty parties are. For example, many of the "most free" distros (on FSF approved list for example) completely eschew any sort of proprietary software whatsoever. And so you are out of luck with your Wi-Fi drivers for instance. And then on the other extreme, Ubuntu (and others) just include them, which I think is not a good idea either, as you are missing an opportunity to highlight the problem (even if it is a slight user inconvenience).

Debian allows these sort of things in the "non-free" and "contrib" repos, you simply have to edit a text file to enable them. So they accomplish their charter of promoting Free Software, while not really preventing you from using some perhaps proprietary software in the meantime if you really must. Which is why I say they strike "the right balance" IMO.
