Installing Linux is fun unless it doesn't like your wifi adapter and you're a noob.

It was an external USB adapter but Manjaro didn't like it. But yeah that one thing isn't enough to give up Linux. Windows keeps killing certain printers when Windows updates, that is a fair amount of trouble to fix sometimes too.

I get rid of Cortana every time it pops up. Last time I installed Windows I somehow enabled OneDrive even though I definitely did not want it. It wound up trying to back up my gigabytes of game save files and mods to the cloud.
Which one? What was the chip?
TP-Link AC600. I didn't buy it with Linux in mind, but I assumed it was popular enough that it should work.

Oops, this was meant as a reply to someone about the TP-Link AC2100 router in anothrr window, ugh. Too many google results open.
Let me google the chipset for that one if you haven't found drivers that work yet. For some of the Realtek based ones, there's some you can compile yourself by morrownr.
I did get it working but it took a lot of Googling and config file/terminal work.
If you ever need a wifi adapter that will definitely work with Linux (plus reviews!): https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/becbea2d5213438e25dc3d35f161e1a0d8a1b12f/home/USB_WiFi_Adapters_that_are_supported_with_Linux_in-kernel_drivers.md
