I've tried six different Linux distros, and each one claims to have good built-in drivers for WiFi. I even bought a Brostrend AX300 WiFi dongle, which is said to be very Linux-friendly. However, I'm struggling to get WiFi to work. I've tested Bazzite, Pop_OS, Zorin OS 18 core, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Fedora Silverblue, Linux Mint, and Endeavour OS, but nothing seems to connect. Unfortunately, I can't use a wired connection because I don't have access to the router. My setup includes an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x on a MSI x470 gaming max pro motherboard, paired with a Gigabyte Nvidia RX4070. Everything works, except for the wireless connection!

It sounds like you may need to download the driver manually from Brostrend's website. If you can, try using a different computer or tethering your phone to access their site. Also, if your motherboard has an m.2 slot, consider putting in an Intel AX210 card for a possibly more seamless experience.
I'll check the website! I didn't think of going there for instructions. They said it should work right out of the box, but it sounds like I might have to do a bit more digging.
