I recently took the toe dip of installing Lubuntu (22.04.2 LTS Jammy Jellyfish) on my old laptop.
I’m generally happy with how everything runs almost immeasurably better on it than with windows 10, but I have one significant issue: I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make wireless internet work in it.
I can get online just fine plugging in my ethernet cable or doing USB tethering from my phone, but my phone doesn’t have unlimited data and I sometimes leave my apartment, so it’s not exactly ideal…
Anyone able to help or point me to someone/something that can?
Did you enable third-party drivers during installation? Realtek is historically very closed-source about Linux support and a pain in general.
I don’t think I did, no… should I have? Even getting past the brainfart of forgetting a crucial keyword (realtek), I’m still not having much luck with whatever I can find online…
