There is firmware in the main ISO, which means your WiFi might work. The Nvidia driver is an `apt install` away. Either way, Nvidia needs to be installed by you on Debian or Ubuntu, and GUI vs CLI is no different to me.

That's good to know! Wifi has been the main dealbreaker, so I might give it a shot next time.

And yes, I was calling out Nvidia as the exception to "it just works" even on Ubuntu. I realize that wasn't clear.
