https://lists.debian.org/debian-news/2014/msg00012.html"Unlike other common GNU/Linux distributions, installing official Debian
by default means installing only free software. As long as Debian users
do not add additional package repositories, their systems are a reliable
source of fully free compatibility information. We're looking forward to
working with Debian to help free software users get the hardware they
need, and encourage the companies who provide it," said FSF's executive
director John Sullivan.

The Forum's search box is terrible. Use site specific search, e.g.

It isn't hard to add a computer to the database, just takes creating a log in and running the commands suggested and populating some fields on a Web page. You have to allow javascript to use the site properly.
They like you to do a separate report on each component as well as for the laptop as a whole but that would take a bit of time. I can see it would make the database more valuable.
I'll add one for my recycled Dell E5420 with replacement wifi card as detailed here...
