So, sorry to interject here.  I am somewhat curious why you are looking for
not fedora.  I know there have been some intel wifi issues, though recently
they have gotten much better.  These issues have been upstream, so most
other distros are seeing the same, though we have some good developers
actively fixing those bugs, and pushing them upstream quickly.
Not to say that you shouldn't try other distros if that is what you are
looking to do, though it would be nice to know what we did to drive you
away if anything.
