I have been using Linux Mint on a laptop for general surfing, etc. The latest updates (linux kernals) have played havoc with internet/network connections. It seems many others, per forums, are having similar problems and are getting little relief from the ‘kernal makers’.

I ‘timelined’ back to the early installs of Mint 20.3 and the network connection is still wacky.

I am a novice regarding Linux and most of the forum replies require a degree in Linux to understand what might correct the connection problem.

My flirtation with Linux — I am not a happy camper with this current connection issue.

Being in my late 60s, I always believed ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t let anything update or upgrade.”

Too bad the ‘industry’ is just the opposite. We live in a 2023 world where nothing is safe anymore. Or they want us to believe that. I just can’t trust any third party to my security.

Horrible times we live in in internet regard.
