    It’s impossible to disable it (at least from the GUI). Even Ubuntu allows it. It’s a terrible change imo. Just add a toggle and make it checked by default

      The current method is to set a boot parameter to opt out of non-free firmware, it’s documented in the installer manual.

          I bet they considered the options. It could simply be that no one has had time to change the installer. It could also be that the people who care about free software to the degree that they want to avoid non-free firmware usually figure out how to do it, and that too many options confuse new users. I don’t know. A feature request discussion in the appropriate mailing list could be a good idea if you want change.
