Delivered Debian 8 jessie gnome, very cool OS - fast and not bad in appearance!
I installed it from LiveCD - the installation was successful and fast, but after installation it turned out that the drivers for Nvidia and Wifi were not installed.
I started installing drivers for wifi according to this instruction - nothing happened and wifi still does not see it. Then I noticed that it displays fonts a little clumsily and the monitor hurts my eyes a lot - I installed the driver !
After that it Debianstopped working!
How to set up wifi? And how to install Nvidia correctly?

~~The author of the wiki page you cited about installing NVIDIA's proprietary driver should be shot.~~ The Russian article hasn't changed drastically since 2010! years, from that moment Debian acquired automatic package building from a proprietary driver (older version in stable/testing/sid, latest in
~~experimental~~ )

Install Ubuntu. Debian has removed non-free firmware, and there is no normal font smoothing. In ubuntu, with a high probability, everything will work out of the box. If Nvidia Optimus - everything will not be very smooth, most likely. I stupidly turn it off in the boot options, because I don't need it.
