I personally would avoid Wifi 7 or anything newer. It takes a while to develop kernel support and it will be a bad experience. Wifi 7 support was only finished in the last year or two and it is going to be buggy.
The vast majority of hardware is support maintained by the manufacturer. However, it takes quite a while for it to trickle down. Linux is purely a monothic kernel so bugs can be very bad.

This.
Don’t expect the brand new gear to work on Linux. It takes a while for the neckbeards to get access and write the drivers.
Heck, even new gear from companies that contribute their own drivers can be shaky.
I’m sorry, but for desktop, Linux can’t be relied on as stable for early gear adoption. Usually even the specs are in limbo still.
This is coming from a linux/bsd only user for many years.

Ironically, I haven’t had a hardware issue in ages.
