From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ive plugged in various mpci, m2, and random chinese or brand name usb dongles, everything always works out of the box for me. even when some of their documentation omits linux. i wouldnt worry, i'm assuming almost anything will work.
if i were to actually recommend one, id get an m2 intel ax series card. the ones with wifi+bt. no worries if you can't get something as fancy though.
