Best linux wireless card

[penguin1]

I recently built a friend a pc, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/2024jrb1/saved/9LrPFT, and long story short, their house was not wired for ethernet and the motherboard had no wireless card. They have manjaro linux, and they ordered a netgear wifi card (a7000), but it would not work with drivers. They are sending it back, but in the meantime, what is a good wifi 6 card (bluetooth is a +), that will work reliably on manjaro? I have seen some good things about cards with the intel ax200 chip, but wanted to check with y'all on the best thing to get.

 

I liked the look of this TP link card, and it has the intel chipset. Is this good? What about the intel NVME one?

On Manjaro, this should satisfy the Netgear USB Card.

• git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git.git
• cd rtl88*
• makepkg -si

In terms of best compatibility, anything Intel based. The ax200 is supported since Kernel 5.1

Tried the exact package, still did not work. I also think that the netgear device was weird with connecting. Probably going with the ax200 is our best bet.

I haven't used it a lot, but the AX200 seemed to work well for me.  The AX210 is potentially even better if you're on kernel 5.10 or newer as it will support WiFi 6e in a later kernel, but works fine on WiFi 6 right now.  I get better speeds on WiFi 5 (AC) on the AX210 than the AX200.
