That is quite a smart page, explaining the need for firmware during
a Debian installation succinctly. It should have some prominance for
users.
The -devel thread is essentially about the need to make a wireless
chipset usuable when the Debian images do not support this. It is not
really about revisiting the argument about firmware as software of
many years ago. The OP simply wants to get something that works on
his machine without having to jump through Google hoops.
The Debian home page has "Download" as a prominent feature. It leads
to an amd64 netinst iso. Why can it not link to some documentation
(as above), and from there to what is available?
Pragmatism goes a long way to easing the path to installing Debian.
