Been using Fedora on several laptops and desktops, and haven't had issues with wifi. Or with anything else for that matter. For me, everything in Fedora just works and never breaks.
The first bug I've seen was recently. Apparently an update broke the 'shutdown and update' function in Fedora Workstation. So now when you press it, nothing happens. Then when you try shutting down, the PC will shut down without updating. It'll update and shutdown upon next boot. Can confirm Fedora KDE is unaffected though.
Hmmmmmmm
I remember this sort of stuff a long time ago. There were wifi drivers that were either linux, but closed source, or horror of horrors having to resort to ndiswrapper...
Of course, the Ubuntu derivatives made this easy enough by just including it, but Fedora was much more purist about open source and so wouldn't even tell you about rpm-fusion, let alone enable proprietary drivers for basic network access.
Now Fedora has edged a bit more practical and proactively let's users know about how to add proprietary stuff and the wifi industry takes Linux seriously, if not for desktop use then for all the embedded use cases they would be left out of without good Linux support. Fedora is still a bit far on the 'purist' side still (try to play a lot of media using dnf provided software, it will tend to break), but not as hard as it used to be)
And Kinonite by extension. I updated and restarted because I like fresh kernels.
Don't judge me, it's my kink OK. In my sad, pathetic little white bread life in the middle of nowhere.
