Wi-Fi Netgear A7000 - rtl8812au Drivers
I am new to immutable distros so please forgive my ignorance. I am wanting to use Bazzite as my daily driver but I have to use Wi-Fi at my current location. Is there any way to install rtl8812au drivers for my Wi-Fi Netgear A7000? Convenience is nice but working in workarounds is nicer than not at all.
Even my PAU0D AC1200 isn't working when it is plug and play. My old PAU05 Panda Wireless works.

Unfortunately kmods just cannot be installed by end users on Atomic distros. Your options are to either get different Wi-Fi hardware, or create a custom image and install that driver as a kmod in your image. If it's not already in our akmod repo you would need to add it as well

What are some good supported Wi-Fi adapters? How does one make a custom image with that driver?
