I have a new install of Debian 12 Bookworm, and I have added the nonfree firmware sources to my sources list.
However, when I run apt search firmware-linux I see three options
firmware-linux
firmware-linux-free [installed, automatic]
firmware-linux-nonfree
I would like to use nonfree firmware, but I am confused by that first option. what does firmware-linux include or not include that is different from firmware-linux-nonfree? Which should I install?
Okay, this makes sense. So it might need to be installed as a dependency for something else?
It wouldn’t be needed unless something else depends on it.
