Hi, everyone!

I am interested in Linux, but wasn’t able to use it on my system, because of the lack of wifi drivers. Now here’s my question: Are there any Linux distros, that support wifi out of the box?

    Indeed that chipset seems to be problematic. There is a complicated way to get it working, but you are probably better off waiting a bit for the Linux kernel level support to stabilize. Apparently it is included in version 5.9 but buggy. Maybe it works in 5.10 now.

    If you want to try now, you best bet is to install Manjaro, connect it to a cable ethernet to update the Kernel to 5.10 and reboot to check if the wifi works then.
