I'm planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?

That isn't accurate. I used a PCIe adapter for an m.2 HDD on my wife's computer and she's getting 400% faster write speeds.
