Are you using nvidia or broadcom? Cause Mint 22 hates my Intel Wi-Fi card.

I may have been lucky.

My first video cards where pretty old for the time in which i used them: Ge 2 Mx400, intel family HD 2500, Rx 570. Now im running with Rx 6750 xt and vega 8 on my laptop (I think).

Wifi cards, i really dont remember cause i have never experienced visible or obvious problems. I'll check and update later.

With my bluetooth i had an odd experience cause i never got it to run even on windows (first laptop) but eventually started working on linux after a debian clean installation +5 years later. Had some problems with a bluetooth dongle that pretty much solved themselves once i got the proper kernel update.

Edit: Ge 2 was running on bumblebee.. I once tried to run it on the official drivers. It worked, but fucked everything in a funny way.

Man...if I resume from suspend on most distros of Ubuntu, mint, Debian, the WiFi just never comes back on. I resulted in just shutdown on laptop lid close to deal with it. No sense in closing the lid unless I'm done anyways
