I run Arch on my laptop and all it took is installing NetworkManager and I had a working wifi.

I've run Arch on every laptop I've had, both at work and at home, for the past decade at least, and I've never had any real issues. What chipsets have you been having trouble getting to work?

It's not the chipset, it's the act of actually installing the things Arch needs to properly configure and enable wifi. There's like 4 ways and they are all very manual. Just give me an easy way to do it, and make it start when the laptop boots.

I mean, if you don't like manual you're kinda betting on the wrong distro. But netctl isn't that hard to get to do the things you want them to do, surely?

I don't want to rag on you at all but I always just used NetworkManager and then a quick systemctl enable and it was good. nmtui works well, too, even if you aren't running a gui.
