Big changes coming in Debian 12: Some parts won't be FOSS
page pointing you at at a sensible default, the problem is that the default download image is built entirely from FOSS components, meaning that it doesn't include any vendor BLOBs .
If your internet connection is via Wi-Fi, for instance, there is a strong probability that the default Debian ISO will not be able to bring up Wi-Fi – because many Wi-Fi adapters require some vendor firmware to be uploaded to the device before you can connect. This firmware is proprietary, and therefore Debian doesn't include it.
This is one of the things that helped Ubuntu succeed: it included proprietary drivers and firmware in its CD image to help you get started – components Debian omitted. Much the same thing helped Linux Mint to gain an edge over Ubuntu: it included non-essential but useful tools, such as MP3 and DVD codecs, that Ubuntu didn't.
