I have a USB stick with Ventoy on it, and a collection of ISOs that I can
pick through depending on what I am doing. The Debian ISO is the 12.5 DVD
version.
It was surprising to me just how much the installer detected and got
right, because it asked me about wifi network and key and then off it
went.
If your wifi is also the AX200 (maybe a different revision), it *should*
work. There is a lot to be said about Intel, but their drivers do get
pushed upstream and make it into the distribution kernels. iwd is also an
Intel thing and quite nice to use when digging into it.
