A year and a half ago, we tried to convert a well-spec'd Dell laptop from Windows to Ubuntu for a new dev. We couldn't get the wifi to work. The dev now uses a MacBook.
- ekianjo 5y agoThere are tons of github repos for non-mainline wifi chips. Did you check if you could find something for the model you had?

It may be fine when you're tinkering with a hobby machine, but at work it's basically me who can support Linux, so it was a no go. Wifi was not a solved problem at that moment, from my POV.
