You see, that just sounds weird.
The Asus T100 laptop comes with Windows 8.1.
Windows 8.1 was launched in 2013.
Intel upgraded EFI to UEFI in
2005.
If you have a T100 laptop it has UEFI bios.

I can successfully run the amd64 live iso off of a usb, runs great, but when I go to install it fails because it can't install the 32bit version of Grub.

GRUB is neither 32-bit or
64-bit.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

Debian does not install all the drivers under the sun on the 'non-free' iso.

Not sure if I did something wrong during the installation. I was hoping that I could then just manually install a DE since there isn't one in this iso.

Really?
Debian says you have to personally OPT-OUT of all versions of their DE during install.
And if you do, installing a DE is as easy as installing a debian
package.
You have successfully installed Debian onto an 8-year old laptop.
You can't get wifi to run.
Be specific. Be honest.
