I understand that. But what’s making me scratch my head is that I tried running Linux Mint 21.2 and Debian 12, both of which to my knowledge were released very recently, and yet both failed to detect my WiFi card. Are they running an older linux kernel?

Thank you for the clarification. I already know that most drivers are loaded with the kernel, and it looks like Ubuntu 23.04 is using a slightly newer kernel than other mainstream distros.

What you do once you’re on the 24.04 LTS release is up to you. By that time, other distros will probably also work out of the box too.

That’s a very good question. It is because I was using Kubuntu 23.04, and I was mostly happy with it, except for one small gripe I was facing related to KDE, and I figured if I try a different distro with KDE, I might actually solve it.

Thank you for all the respectful comments. I complained about this on r/Steam on Reddit, thinking they’d discuss the issue like grown ups. All I got though was shit comments after shit comments, the likes of “cry about it” and “whomp whomp”, someone even dismissed my rant as a “tantrum”!

Yes. Although on AskReddit, this question would’ve been removed by the automod because it’s technically a yes or no question.

Well I expected that since I’m posting this on r/Steam it would be full of PC gamers, and usually PC gamers are older and therefore more mature than console gamers. I guess I was wrong!
