I second this. You need physical ethernet cable for the length of your house. Hard-wire anything that needs uninterrupted access. Then install multiple WiFi access points as needed for WiFi coverage. All WiFi access points can use the same WiFi SSID name. Note the difference between a “router” that connects to your internet provider and may also provide WiFi, vs a WiFi “access point” which only provides WiFi. You need one router and multiple access points connected to each other via physical ethernet cable. Keep in mind that even the best WiFi, being a wireless radio connection, will occasionally have dropouts due to radio interference. Prefer 5GHz channels over 2.4GHz channels for less interference. Another commenter recommended the Ubiquiti UniFI line, and I agree. Just avoid the cloud-based login that they try to push, and use a local-only login.
Edit: the “buy it for life” option is hard-wired (CAT-6 or better) ethernet everywhere. Wireless is convenient, but ultimately less reliable.
I see they’re into biting. I hope they have a sssssafe word.

If you’re not already, use it as your main system. Don’t dual boot. Stop using windows and mac. When you run into something you need to do, figure out how to do it on linux. It will be slow going at first, but after a few months you will pick up more productivity than you had before.
Another commenter recommended the fish shell, but I disagree because fish is not posix compliant. Almost all of the shell script examples that you will find assume posix compatibility and will usually have to be modified to run with fish. Once you get comfortable with a posix-compliant shell, then maybe consider fish or another “modern” shell.
On the topic of shells, read the bash manual. It’s long and informative. You don’t have to memorize it, but be aware of the different concepts there, and refer to it when you need to. It’s pretty horrible as a programming language, but it’s what glues most of Linux together.

Check the value in /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq to see if it’s enabled. Then see if you can trigger it by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger. Then try an external keyboard that has real SysRq key. If all of those work, you may have to ask Framework support if their keyboard supports generating that keystroke.
