I'm not sure what you mean by the text based Gnome desktop. I think Unity, Mate and Gnome are all accessible on Ubuntu 16.04. I run the Gnome desktop myself, which is a GUI desktop.

As of right now I have to use Ubuntu 16.04 for one of the classes I am taking. There is probably no real issue in using another version but he specifically wants us to use Ubuntu 16.04 so that is what I installed. Maybe later I will switch to Mate or something else but for now I am using Ubuntu.

Is it not necessary to run the text based gnome desktop when using Orca on Ubuntu? I know it is not required but I have read a lot of people talking about how much better Orca is with the text based gnome. How do I know what desktop version I am running?

Sorry hijack but did you installed debian 9 mate (new install), does
wireless work properly ?
Yes, it works. The link provided by Edhoari is the Debian installer with proprietaries firmware.

FYI, Debian ships only free software by default, it's because the manufacturer of your WiFi card only provides a proprietary driver for your WIFI card.

Best regards.
