I'd prefer to use PCIe wifi cards instead of USB adapters. I also want to use 5G if possible. Can anyone recommend a good chipset or brand to look for, or ones to avoid? The PCs are mostly running Ubuntu, with a few running CentOS. In the past I've figured that the Qualcomm and Intel wireless chipsets were good, but someone was telling me that the Qualcomm ones have had some problems with Linux recently, and that recent Intel ones only work well with Intel CPUs. However, he hadn't used Qualcomm in the last 5 years or so and he's using an Intel one with an Intel CPU and hasn't tried it with an AMD Ryzen one. So, his reservations about Qualcomm and Intel are not backed by any facts that I can see.
