A comment on Debian 10 “Buster” Released. Parent comment
From there you have roughly 5 options:
1) small installer that gets packages over the internet (netinst)
2) large installer that includes a bunch of packages ("CDs")
3) same as 2 but delivered to you physically
4) qcow2 cloud images
5) a live CD + installer
6) a computer with debian preinstalled
netinst is recommended if you can have a network interface that is supported out of the box.
Ubuntu's installation would be equivalent to 5) and is the friendliest UX.
You are expected to know which architecture you are using although branding makes it really hard for new users to figure that out.
