docs VS USB-WiFi

System76 customers can get personal support at https://support.system76.com/

I am just wondering whether it will be beneficial to have a pinned post with not only resources (e.g. the official System76 support page which many have ignored or simply don't know about!!, custom theme, snapshot support (timeshift, snapper), etc.) but also troubleshooting flowcharts/categories with common problems and potential fixes.

Same ^ I switched my gaming / streaming PC over last year and haven't had a single issue (that I didn't create myself, lol). It's a remarkably solid OS. System76 also has a WEALTH of documentation for new and experienced users, including how to install Steam and Proton for gaming. Docs can be found here: https://support.system76.com/

Always check the distro user guide/wiki for additional information. In case of PopOS check https://support.system76.com/ Also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/

Remember you can also open a support ticket if you'd like someone from System76 to try and help determine what's causing the fans to spin up more than you expect. And you should not need to replace thermal paste on a brand new system, but you can see how the cooling system is laid out here: https://tech-docs.system76.com/models/gaze17/repairs.html#replacing-the-cooling-system

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
