I got a good bundle deal from Microcenter on a mobo with a wifi card that took over a year to be properly supported by the Linux kernel (or whatever relevant entity). This is good advice, but it’s likely that since we’re at the end of the AM5 generation, no new mobos should come out needing updates to function properly.
Tap for spoiler
In my case, it was that I needed to hard power cycle (unplug, replug) sometimes to get Linux to initiate the networking card.
