Trying to migrate off of stealth for Reddit so I can stop feeling guilty that I’m still technically using reddit
People shit on Ubuntu because its owned by a for profit corporation that hosts an app manager that isnt open source on the backend. Not sure why you heard hate for mint, its perfectly fine. As a beginner I’d definitely go for Mint. If you Genuinely want to try but feel like you need someone to hold your hand, I can add you on Matrix (or discord… ugh) if you want a person to reference.
this is the way
Until then I hope you get the issue solved! Best if luck friend :)
Have you tried OpenWrt? It works like a dream for this kind of stuff + the community is very helpful
Thank you for such a nice response. It’s nice to know that people are still able to be rational and understanding of one another’s situations even if/when their current states in life are different. I hope you have a great rest of your day today. 🙂
I’m glad you make it work but I hope youre aware not everyone is given the same opportunities you are.
You mean you’ve become used to buying better hardware every few years. Some of us are poor and are still kicking a 2012 Thinkpad we got off eBay in high school.
Awesome, Thanks
Ideally I want to use wpa3 as its the latest standard and all of my devices (except windows) are able to use it. I left the model number in the other response you left :P
Its a “Sager N870HK”
yes.
I don’t use Reddit and like I said in the OP most of what I found on Lemmy relating to tech help were dead (no posts in over 10 months). Can’t use a VM due to lockdown browser.
Win 11, Something like Intel® Wireless-AC 6000. I dont remember if its 6258 or something like that, I just know its let’s than 9000 which is the minimum Intel requires for wpa3 for whatever reason. I can find the exact model # tomorrow if youre interested
Find me an Intel driver for a pre 9000 series laptop adaptor that supports wpa3 for windows and we can talk about “keeping it up to date” :)
Not sure why you got down voted, this is what I’m currently doing to work around it

If the goal of a DE is to attract users, Vanilla GNOMEs implementation fails to be attractive to most people as it is too foreign from established standards. Extensions are something that are actively not supported officially by GNOME, so using them would not fix the fact that a user expects a minimize, maximize, and close buttons and will not have them on vanilla GNOME, they will not have a Windowed start menu on GNOME, nor a System tray or traditional taskbar. What this user is saying is not “wrong” as they are saying the developers of GNOME want their DE how they want their DE, and people who prefer a more traditional desktop will most likely not like Vanilla GNOME because of that fact.
CalyxOS, lovely community and MicroG is FOSS (as opposed to Sandboxed Play Services being literally Google play services.)
If you want Something you can set up and forget, use YUNOHOST, otherwise learn how to use docker containers and pick any server distro. Debian, Fedora Server, Ubuntu Server, MicroOS, hell OpenWrt will all do fine.
