My comment was more for offering an option for connection that worked for me without any custom/hacky drivers. Despite my distro of choice, I hate gatekeeping and really dislike the folks you are referring to who like to pretend they were never a beginner. However, one of the lines you posted is generally good advice, which is to file a bug report for problems you are encountering that aren't documented. Not only will it potentially get you help, but will hopefully prevent your issue from being experienced by other users. Submitting bug reports is scary because people who maintain Linux projects can be rude to beginners, but I recommend just posting your best effort at a bug report, and usually someone will walk you through how to get the additional information needed to make your bug report proper.
