The last few computers I’ve purchased have let me put the card in monitor mode right out of the box. I even do pci passthrough to a kvm with them.
I can’t even remember the last time I messed with drivers outside of installing amd graphics for rocm support. The open source drivers seem faster for games. It’s weird how much stuff just works out of the box now.
Last time I installed windows on hardware it was a saga to get everything working. You even have to modify the win11 installer to allow a local account without using ms365 but I guess it’s more friendly or whatever’s peoples excuse is. Windows does work pretty good as a VM with the fedora qemu drivers if you feel like running microsoft malware on your network like it’s the early 2000s.

The card I have now was purchased explicitly for handoff and continuity support in macOS for a hackintosh project.
