Literally one command away.
My BCM4352 uses wl, https://wiki.debian.org/wl, sadly didn't get it working. Fortunately, I don't need WiFi on this machine
And for most people, terminal = no.
There are other ways than terminal. I just found it the easiest way to show the list of available drivers in Debian with a single command.
Also I call bullshit on that "terminal = no". If people are capable of copy pasting URL they are capable of copying single line of text as well. Even if someone is afraid of terminal it provides a lot less ambiguity and should give it a shot. It doesn't require navigating through user interface which has tendency to change over time while following someone's instructions or images which might leave out the step or fail to include where to click, move, open then go to tab, 3rd row down, click open... etc. Besides nothing happens if you make a mistake. World doesn't end. Computer doesn't explode.
Windows has been GUI only for end users for 22 years by now...
Yes because terminal syntax and binaries can't change either, right?
Windows has not been GUI only. It also has terminal and configuration through it.
"for end users"
Yes, lets ignore that.
