Hi!
So im trying to install Linux on my SATA SSD (i have windows 10 in the M.2), but there's a few problems.
1) The Ethernet port of the motherboard is broken. The cause was a power outage, after that i started the PC again but couldn't connect to the internet (I checked new drivers, etc). I tried a few cables but nothing, tested the same cables with another PC and they instantly worked. So i bought an USB Wifi adapter.
2) I already installed the lastest version of Mint, after hours of research about how to make my Wifi adapter work, i got the drivers. Perfect! i installed them, they worked perfectly fine. Next day, couldn't connect to my wifi network. It was a loop of "setting wireless <Name of the net>........." and after a few secs "No internet connection". So after a while i got mad and said F**K IT.
3) I downloaded Ubuntu, i installed it but... it doesn't have the source packages upgraded. So i couldn't install the drivers for the Wifi adapter. I don't wanna manually downloaded thousands of packages and dependencies and manually install them.
There's another distro that comes with all the packages like Mint to try it out and see if i can get Wifi connection without problems? or i just give up and use VMs? (i don't wanna split the resources of my pc, that was the main reason)
