Meanwhile Linux users trying to ger wifi to work

Yes, but like 10 years ago. That was probably the last time I ripped out chunks of hair and snapped off teeth trying to configure a half supported broadcom wireless card.

I rarely have WiFi issues on Linux. At least not with internal WiFi cards. USB ones can sometimes be a problem, but not often.

I just add this to my system config:

networking.wireless = {
  enable = true;
  networks = import ./networks.nix;
};

Then I define my networks in a gitignored file and I'm good to go.

it's the never ending cycle, we struggle getting wifi to work and then laugh at windows users trying to get windows to work

I feel like my joke went over a lot of people's heads

Every kernel update on Ubuntu kills my wifi driver. So I automatically recompile and add my new driver....same driver each gaddam time. But it's not an ad 😂 lol.

Get the maintainer to PR it to the linux-firmware team if its unique.
