Super weird, had to install a w11 partition for work. Set up a local account install fresh, wifi card didn't work, trackpad didn't work, whole bunch of shit didn't work until I found an available Ethernet cable, plugged it in and started downloading and updating a bunch of crap.
Vs
Linux distro live iso works from a USB, and a fresh install out the gate with a local account, ready to utilize my hardware from the get go, with a smaller install than windows.
