Strange. One of them main reasons I wiped my Dell XPS OEM Windows and installed Linux was for -better- WiFi behaviour.
I have installed Ubuntu, Pop!, or Mint as a fix for wifi issues on laptops probably about a dozen times over the past 20ish years.
I have never had a wifi issue with linux. My husband has had issues with Linux and wifi in 2007. But that was 2007.
That might be one of the very few cases.
Possibly. Some XPS models (~9310) cheaped out on the WiFi chipset, which was really bad at reconnecting after sleep/suspend on Win 10/11 right out off the box.
Tried a live Linux install and it worked perfectly, so made the switch as there was no Win-only software that I needed.
The first experience with anything can make a world of a difference ☺️. Good thing I'm stubborn 😂.
