Recommend wireless card for new build
by asininity from LinuxQuestions.org on (#535VG)
Hello all,
Wondering if you fine people will be able to help out with a recommendation for a wireless card for my new build computer. I haven't upgraded in over 10 years so am in the process of speccing out a new build to hopefully last the next 10 years.
I'm currently running MX Linux 19.1 64bit, (Kernel 4.19). I love Xfce.
I am looking for a Linux supported wireless card. My new motherboard supports M.2 wireless cards directly however I'm not sure what the WiFi speeds will be like without antenna which don't seem to come with the cards. From what I can tell buying one of these and the antenna is about as expensive if not more than buying a PCI-e x1 card.
I am aware that I should be looking for Intel as they have the best support.
I want the best speeds and have seen the Intel AX200 mentioned but this requires Kernel 5+. I have been looking at the: Ubit AX WiFi 6 Dual Band 2974 Mbps AX200 PCIE Wireless WiFi Card with Bluetooth 5.0, but would like a second opinion from those more knowledgeable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
