  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    But was the cause the Linux driver or the hardware? If the fault is the hardware and the experience on Linux is the same as on Windows, it's feature parity.

    If in doubt, get an Intel WiFi card. Even in otherwise not upgradeable notebooks those are usually not soldered on. Also whatever is in a Steam Deck OLED looks like a good pick.

    Does Intel sell wifi cards that use USB rather than PCI slots? My motherboard doesn't have the slot for a wifi PCIe card, and I've only seen Intel sell those :/

    AFAIK the problem is that the chip itself was only developed with the PCI protocol in mind.

    I see, that is a shame...

    It was the driver, now that support is provided by the kernel it is rock-solid.

    Realtek upstreamed their drivers in 2020 or 2021. I got rid of my last notebook with Realtek hardware for unrelated reasons.
