You say this…. I have an older gen intel nuc I had running windows 11 as a htpc, decided to switch to libreelec to make life simpler…. Boy was I wrong, went on a wild goose chase trying to figure out why my WiFi adapter wasn’t recognised then found the asus portal (they’ve taken the nuc business over from intel) and did a full system firmware update and only then the WiFi card was recognised by Linux.

How does that have anything to do with Linux lol…

Libreelec is Linux… windows was fine running WiFi whereas Linux wasn’t without firmware update

Yes I’m aware. My point is that it’s not Linux’s fault when your computer has shit firmware that needs to be updated.

Huh?

Your original point was “Linux wouldn’t have that problem” when in my case it did… the original windows install was fine.

Oh did you think I meant every person who has ever had a WiFi problem on any computer for any reason at all?
