Intel and the iwlwifi driver are very well supported and should work out of the box. You might try the Edge ISO, I don’t know what kernel is in the regular 21.3 ISO but Edge is supposed to be newer in general. Upgrading to 21.3 is simple once installed.
There is also an odd solution at forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=399427 (applies to a normal PC, but if you’re able to remove your laptop battery or turn off the battery in the bios for a tik).
