Wi-Fi drivers are notoriously complicated on Linux in general, though things have been improving. But yeah if ‘iwctl device list’ comes up empty when you plan to use Wi-Fi to install Arch, especially if Ethernet isn't a viable temporary alternative because your device doesn't have an Ethernet port, you're in for a tough time.

I usually use my phones LTE (tethered connection via USB) when wifi doesn’t work during the install.

Oh yeah that's a great alternate option too if your mobile plan includes tethering. I've successfully used both Android and iOS tethering in the past and it was pretty seemless each time.

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.
