I've had the reverse. I started using arch because debian didn't have my wifi driver yet.

Yeah WiFi seems to always be the biggest pain in the ass, and it’s still way easier than it was 15 years ago.

Haven’t had a single laptop with an issue, personally (though I only have bought Lenovo laptops in the past 7 years or so, but in that time I’ve bought 3). I’ve got one (really cheap) WiFi dongle I’ve had on my HTPC that had been a pain. Had I taken the time to choose the other really cheap one that had a different chipset, it would’ve worked out of the box. Oh well.
