Years ago the only ones I found with drivers in linux were N300 (even slot at the time) usb devices. You would have to check the state of usb wireless now and guess if they are reliable or not. Overall replacing the card takes 10-15 minutes. There is one screw, the card in the slot and up to 2 tiny antenna connectors, at most if your laptop has only one antenna connected you would need to get a 2nd antenna and put it someplace inside the laptop. I have done the usb wifi, and after having done it the card replacement is MUCH faster and much more reliable and the Intel AX200 cards are widely available for $20.
