hey since we are concerned with Linux... I'm on a lenovo legion laptop and the wifi is always cutting out and I want to play on a minecraft server so I need to solve this.

output of lspci -vnn -d ::0280:

00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:43f0] (rev 11)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz [8086:0074]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16, IOMMU group 10
        Memory at 612e1bc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

how would you go about trying to figure out why the wifi keeps turning off, (like it stops working but is still connected and an orange exclamation mark shows up at the wifi symbol in KDE) and how to fix it?

I'm not an expert at this given that this is a laptop and I installed a ready made OS. Eventually I'm gonna switch to Arch or something like that and hope stuff like this stops happening and eventually hack around with my X99 workstation.
