Being the Debian-based distro that's willing to bundle proprietary drivers. For someone like me who doesn't want to deal with driver issues, Ubuntu generally* just works out of the box.

* Looking at you, Nvidia

Isn't there any PPA for Debian with proprietary drivers, for example for aforementioned Nvidia graphic cards?

Debian relaxed their policy here for the latest release.

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.
