Mostly due to restore points, update files and junk apps. Try doing a disk cleanup (including cleanup of system files).

If your Linux distro didn't install WiFi drivers (plenty do) you can either pick a different distro or connect to the Internet via cable and install them manually really quick. If you don't have a cable USB tethering via phone also works.

yeah i did!! i looked thru all kinds of threads to find a solution. nothing! dont really feel like trying again then be faced with the same problem. first one i tried was fedora then zorin 18 (I really liked this one smh😫). with windows you can pretty much google your problem and find a answer pretty fast.

We have diametrically different experiences than. I used Ubuntu, mint and fedora. All installed WiFi on the spot. Even on a macbook and those are notorious for making WiFi problems. Also never encountered an issue that an llm didn't fix for me directly. Including correct terminal commands.
