Over the last few years I've installed various flavors of Linux on 4 random machines of different types. Haven't had trouble with WiFi on any of them. I've barely used windows and had piles of trouble with it just about every time.
Cry about the post I guess?
5ghz wifi not working is a known problem. I had the same issue with multiple distros on a hp laptop. But i installed windows 11 and everything worked perfectly, even the trackpad for some reason felt better than in linux. Everything was taken care by windows updates.
I've had this issue many times on my old Dell mini pc.

Indeed. Linux nowadays works out of the box if you choose a distro such as Ubuntu or Fedora.
The Wifi issue thing is an old story which was a reality back in 2005 when I started using Linux.
