nixos-hardware VS USB-WiFi

Always useful to look at the seemingly endless stream of Linux information, the Arch wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_ROG_Zephyrus_G14_(2022...

Also NixOS has a nixos-hardware repository with configurations for some laptops:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/zep...

Reasonably legible if you ever programmed anything

{ imports = [ # Include the results of the hardware scan. ./hardware-configuration.nix # Additional hardware specific configuration # https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware ];

You could try this repo for hardware support on various laptops if yours is on it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Btw, for starters, I think you can learn a lot by checking other's configurations and from things like https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware. There are a lot of useful/essential configurations that are not enabled by default.

in that case do note that this module assumes you use nixos-hardware, otherwise you can remove lines 161-165. I can also send you my VM's libvirtd .xml file when you get around to creating it.

My computer is a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with a dual GPU setup (AMD iGPU + Nvidia DGPU) where I'm using a "hybrid mode" configuration provided by nixos-hardware, using PRIME offload.

Not too long ago nixos-hardware changed the default Xorg driver for AMD to modesetting from amdgpu.

I've already had a look at this but unsure how often it's updated, 6 months ago according to github: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md

Just google "raspberry pi wifi adapter" or see https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Just a note that if you're _serious_ about WiFi on the Raspberry Pi... you should use an external WiFi adapter—either PCIe or USB.

With the Compute Module 4, I've successfully tested a variety of adapters [1], from WiFi 6E to older mini PCIe and M.2 cards. There's even a board made for the purpose of multi-WiFi testing, the Seaberry [2].

The Raspberry Pi 5 works with all the PCIe WiFi chips I've tested (haven't had time to summarize testing on pipci database site yet, including a mt7921u-based WiFi 6E USB adapter (haven't written that up, but check out [3]).

Hey all, I've read the Github list of Linux WiFi adapters (https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md) but I've seen sporadic comments of certain users saying some haven't worked for them. I'm a bit risk averse buying something most likely from the USA and waiting a while for it to get to Australia and it not work, so I was hoping some people could comment with their specific models that have worked for them.

It would. These should work, as clients and in AP mode. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi
