I've had no issues thus far on my AX210, what kind of wifi card are you using? Might be a nonguix hitch if proprietary or something wack happening in the upstream drivers.

EDIT #2: Are you on KDE? Someone on the IRC was mentioning issues with wifi on KDE yesterday, and I just saw on the mailing list that the KDE team is effectively unmaintained:
With sughosha taking a leave, team KDE is now left
without any committer. Would committers in team Qt
be interested in giving a hand?

If that ain't it, I ain't sure what is my nigga.

EDIT: On the topic of Guix, there is a nonzero chance that the project might schism given people's disillusionment over recent events. People are proposing a fork on the mailing list, which would almost certainly fail because the entirety of the project's institutional backing from NLNet, Inria and GNU is all thanks to Ludo. I am still firmly of the opinion that all troubles Guix is experiencing now are caused by his bureaucracy/democracy fetish and unwillingness to BDFL. If he simply took the reigns as head GNUisance of Guix, literally all of this cancer would have been avoided, and people would not feel compelled to fork or leave. L after L after L for democuckracy, hate to see it.

im using gnome but i know another person with this issue does not use gnome. i am using networkmanager though as thats what comes with the gnome system.
ive been using a ryf certified wifi adapter which has worked for me up until some pull i did a few weeks ago.
 

Lmao. This guy.

"The year of the Linux desktop" is just a meme in the first place. I just find it hilarious that this guy made a video to say Linux is never going to be successful because people hurt his feelings.

What recent events?

A prolonged shitshow that was started literally years ago over the failure of the Guix Consensus Discussion (GCD) mechanism of decision making to pass anything but the most trivial changes everyone agrees to, culminating in spiteful derailing of discussions on GCD007 (to tweak how teams work in the project) and GCD008 (banning AI authored and assisted contributions), which resulted in the mailing lists being full of bickering for months, most maintainers becoming disillusioned with how the project handles itself, especially bigger issues like AI, then to current day where you have important maintainers resigning over the project's apparent inability to govern itself. Mind you, the biggest conclusion Ludo, the founder, drew from the entire thing is that he wants more stringent enforcement of the project's Code of Conduct, which of course is based on the tranny tyrant Contributor Covenant. Out of fucking nowhere there have been AI shills affiliated with data center companies shitting up the mailing list with "here's what ChatGPT thinks about your opinion CHUD" trash. Bot cock slurpers are the new trannies man. If estrogen was crack for nerds, AI is fent.
 
Meanwhile, what will become of Void Linux since they just let hundreds of packages go unmaintained over AI disputes?

Nobody (or at least, very little) in Alpine and Void are very work-minded, god forbid they don't deal with a situation and would rather let their projects hemorrhage support.

tbh writing has been on the wall with both alpine and void for a while this is just it coming to fruition

Anyone who complains about the "linux community" is an automatic ignore. Its an operating system. Not a church group.
 
What distro is the most pro-AI? Like, they have competent people using AI to review all PRs and accept AI generated PRs from people who demonstrate that they know their shit and are doing due diligence in verifying the AI output?

That distro will likely be fucked up in the beginning but after that will move so fast once they get a system set up.

Edit: ironically it seems to be Debian, followed by Fedora

The short answer: the Linux kernel itself is the most AI-saturated project in the entire ecosystem, and among actual distros, Debian and Fedora are the most permissive.

Linux kernel (the foundation under all distros) is where AI-assisted development is most visible in practice:

  • Over 2,000 AI-assisted patches landed in a 45-day window (as of June 2026), a 2,700% increase since February.
  • Torvalds called it "the new normal" and explicitly said Linux is "not an anti-AI project."
  • The kernel introduced an official Assisted-by:tag for AI contributions — the first formal AI governance policy in major open source.
  • Torvalds himself has used AI to debug and fix kernel bugs, crediting it in commit messages.
Debian just made the boldest move among distros: on August 29, 2026 (two weeks ago), the community voted to adopt "Responsible Use of Generative AI" — explicitly rejecting proposals that would have banned AI contributions. The policy says Debian "neither endorses nor prohibits" AI tools in development, maintenance, and documentation, while holding contributors fully accountable.

Fedora approved its AI-assisted contributions policy in October 2025 (requiring disclosure and human accountability) and is actively building AI into its infrastructure through the AI Developer Desktop Initiative — producing dedicated AI-focused Atomic Desktop images with CUDA support.

So the spectrum looks like: kernel (most active in practice) → Debian (most permissive policy, just adopted) → Fedora (permissive + building AI into the distro itself) → most other distros (still restrictive or silent).

most likely Omarchy

None. They either fall in the trap of rejecting it for hysterical reasons, or turn into gas town freaks slinging beads and polecats with no oversight letting the 5% hallucination rate accumulate until it's just endless slop.

At least I don't know of any distros that use LLM sensibly.

Fell for the convincing but wrong LLM award (it is technically correct on policies, but absolutely not on culture).

Fedora has always been a shortbus camp (now with shortbus agents), with Red Hat engineers spending many a man-month cleaning up the (human) slop for enterprise consumption, and Debian is just dysfunctional (even though some of my best friends are DDs, they don't make good technical choices).

As Dr. Ralph already mentioned the least worst seems to be Omarchy at this point.

Sad but true, just look at /g/

This makes me mad because I love lisp and guix seems like the distro if I wanna try declarative linux
 
I don't like Omarchy because I don't like "boutique distros" like that in general. It's an Arch derivative, but it's not maintained by the Arch team. It has it's own repos, it's own maintainers, and if they get bored or something on their side goes awry, you're now dealing with issues you wouldn't be dealing with if you were to just use a proper upstream distro, like Debian, Arch or Fedora. Mint is probably the biggest exception here, where despite it being a downstream of a downstream and having it's own repos and everything, it has a dedicated maintainer team and years worth of a good track record who developed their own software suites for Mint like Cinnamon, which puts them way above distros like "I took Fedora Atomic and prepackaged it with my opinionated bullshit".

I wouldn't want to use something like CachyOS or Bazzite and then be left on ice because, I don't know, hell froze over and Valve released SteamOS 4.0 that can be installed like a regular distro and just werks on any hardware configuration so all the boutique gaming distros die overnight and I'm left with an abandoned OS and I have to go through the whole "backup and reinstall" ritual when all I wanted was to have a computer that works and is reliable. Omarchy is barely a year old. Basically a baby. No guarantee you won't be left with an unsupported installation three years down the line once the whole agentic AI fad dies down and Omarchy loses steam.

AX210 is a solid option in terms of ease of use and compatibility, but I heard that newer cards from Intel started doing hard dependencies on Intel CPU's, causing all sorts of issues. Can't remember which 802.11be WLAN cards were recommended that don't have such issues, think they were some MediaTek ones.

That's CNVio and that gay shit will not even init properly on non-Intel platform.
My AX210 will sometimes not wakeup after S3 sleep on AM5 board and there are only 2 options to recover: 1. Boot windows for a second (seems like Linux driver is missing some PM quirk) 2. Reset CMOS.
