@killyourfm man, I just remembered that for a while I'd tether my phone and use wifi from the phone via usb tethering because that was the most reliable somehow. Things sure got way smoother since the first year of the Linux desktop.

It is the year 2026, and a Windows 11 installer can’t detect the WiFi adapter in this mini PC I’m reviewing. -

Then intel made wifi chipsets and it all became fine? That's roughly how I remember it... (Broadcom still has a tainted name for me)
