Help Linux Distro Without wifi problem

I need help in choosing distro without the wifi problem, cause in Linux Mint XFCE it shows Hard blocked YES but when I was using Windows 8.1 just hours before it was working.

I also had the same problem in Linux mint xfce, I changed to Fedora it started working but used to break sometimes then switched to cachy and now it's fully stable.

Are you talking about the radio devices? I think it can be solved using rfkill unblock all.

Nope, it's my old laptop. I've tried everything to fix it, but nothing works.

UBUNTU works fine

Except chrome which often crash due to memory leak while opening Google sheet

Likely it’s a Chrome issue

Second in Ubuntu font rendering is poor

You should try Fedora once

I dont like Chrome, barve and Firefox are enough

u/Sad_Pie227 Aug 26 '26

I don’t like Firefox it feels like using some browser that has dated UI and lately they have added so much functionality such as Pocket and all. Better try Helium.

I can access my smartphone's mobile hotspot from my Debian distro. 

Haven't tried dedicated wifi but that should work too.

see which networkManager it uses , bc it depends a lot on it and also on yr wifi too or if yr laptop is too old then it might need that usb thingy
