When I installed Nobara Linux on my younger sister's old hand-me-down laptop, I spent more time trying to get the WiFi card working then I did installing the new SSD and operating system. And this is a distro focused on making Linux more "works out of the box" than Fedora (which it's based on). This isn't something she would have been able to figure out on her own. I switched the laptop from Windows 10 because of how slow it was, but slow is better than no Internet if you aren't a tech nerd who can figure out what random ass commands to run to finally get WiFi working.
