Debian was interesting with their back port / forward port repos for drivers on newer hardware. I had to grab a wifi driver and put it on a USB stick, then figure out the dir to put it in so I didn’t have to manually modprobe or whatever to manually load the driver.
20 years ago on fedora I had to manually mod probe like three different drivers to get my PCMCIA Broadcom wifi card to work. I’m sure fedora is better by now, but damn I still have bad memories about that.
