I believe 5.17 is the first kernel to support it.
How do you know? :-?
Because I'm awake and I can google?
I wouldn't know what phrase to google for.
Duh, I googled for MT7922 linux and the first hit is https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:14c3-0616-105b-e0cd
I tried some strings, found nothing relevant.
Ok, where do I obtain it?
I have no idea. I would assume that when you buy a new laptop you check what hardware is in it*, and that the hardware is supported by linux and what version you need. I don't use laptops so I don't know.
Well, the brand does install Ubuntu in a variant of this model (bigger screen). I did ask if i could install Linux, they said yes.
There is no real better choice of laptop for me.
* and FWIW an RZ616 is apparently the same thing as a MT7922 so the invoice is correct.
no idea.
