"I went back to in-office work recently, after working from home for over a year on a Linux system. I was amazed, getting back to the MS system, how much more efficient and glitch-free my Linux Mint is."

It has worked well on a PC I installed it on, but lacks the needed support for USB wireless out of the box.

USB Wireless works under one of two conditions:

1. Purchase an AC1200 based USB Wireless Card;
2. Learn how to compile the driver using MAKE (assuming the mfr has the Linux code available)

I opted to go with an AC1200 WiFi card installed in my machine and Ubuntu Linux 18 - 21 picked it up perfectly.

Good luck!

I don’t do anything ‘wireless’ except listening to the radio at night.

My setup looks like a Rube Goldberg contraption - but it works fine for me :-)
