The weird thing is that it seems to be working? Either I misdiagnosed the problem, or maybe my old one was just broken.

    Some distros have crusty old kernels/firmware and thus lack optimal support to boot lol.

    Anyway even with Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7, it was not great even a month back. 🙄

    I had to rebase to Bazzite-Testing and back to Bazzite-Stable a few times… Ended up pinning an older testing image for a while to keep working wifi while Fedora upstream fixed their crap.

    The joy of Atmoic made that super simple and painless I’ll say.

    Rolling back updates on tradish distros can be painful to the point of reinstall sometimes lol.

      yup, same problems with v4l and a kernel incongruency. NixOS to the rescue. Add a line to pin the kernel and everything keeps working like nothing ever happened.
