Honestly, most WiFi cards work with Linux these days. Even my old grandpa's Windows XP card worked when I installed Lubuntu on his machine!

The Gigabyte GC-WBAX210 uses the Intel AX210 chipset, which should be compatible with most Linux distributions. Just a heads up, you may need to establish another connection to download the necessary firmware initially.

By the way, I'm on Archcraft right now, but I'm open to switching to standard Arch if needed. Just looking for the best performance!

The AX210 chipset is already included in the kernel, so you shouldn't face any problems. Just check if you’re running a recent version to avoid any hiccups.
