Can confirm :) I once bought a pci card with Intel Gigabit. Slashdot comments were very positive about this being the best card with the best drivers. Oh wow, just looking at the kernel dmesg was infuriating. Reset upon reset, where the NIC would just be unavailable for seconds. Even a major update (I don't know, 4x to 5x or something) did not even change anything. Currently my laptop updated to linux kernel 5.7, where Xfce and Xfwm just break down and get stuck. Going back to 5.6 makes everything work. Nope, I don't trust Intel to make good Linux drivers. Will not buy again :( I never had this in 20 years of using AMD/ATI.
