ruff, I suspect your answer is more accurate. However, if one intends to use Pure Linux on a non-librem laptop, then one should be more knowledgeable than I in how to sort out driver issues. It might be easier to start with a list of programs and settings for Pure Linux, install the free source/free drivers version of Debian. Then add the programs used by Pure Linux. Of course it is easier just to try Pure Linux, and see. Right not I am having a problem getting Ubuntu 19.10 to install on a laptop (well actually to boot after it shows a clean install) where the live version of Ubuntu 19.10 works. So I am leery of introducing more problems. I guess I am just not experienced enough.and I should be either on the Ubuntu or Debian forum about this.
