1 point sample here but I never manage to get reliable WiFi on a NUC6i7KYK. Hardware that should be included in the “well known” category.

Sometimes even this fails, what can I say.

Ubuntu runs a certification program. I wish there was an independent party certifying hardware for Linux. And they looked into all the details, such as battery discharge triggering ACPI events, 802.11 functions supported by wireless card and things like that.

Not blaming you :D

That's weird because I have the same HW, (Skylake Skull Canyon NUC) & get WiFi good enough for a home media server, (Arch).
