If it's any consolation, and maybe just luck, but I almost have better luck with hardware not with windows.

That could very well be the case. I was on a beater laptop previously that was no longer functioning with windows and I needed something for school. I remember I that I wasn't able to get the wifi card to work with Linux so I ended up getting an external card. It likely is different now and I have a proper desktop, but the experience was rough and I'm not eager to repeat it, lol.

Oh I remember those days. Having to find an extracted windows driver and using ndiswrapper to patch it in.
