Description

### Problem / Motivation

Wiki says the kernel has closed-source NVIDIA driver.

### Proposed Solution

Offer a free software repository with fully free kernel. Debian uses main branch to get fully free software, and allows us to get non-free software via other branches.

Research direction

Start by reading the wiki statement about the closed-source NVIDIA driver and compare Debian's main and non-free repository model. Define the repository boundaries and acceptance criteria for offering a fully free kernel while retaining access to non-free software through other branches.
