I’ve dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool.

Which current distro has the best GUI, in your opinion? I find modern Ubuntu to feel a little basic and cheap. I guess I don’t really like modern Gnome. I’m currently using Windows 10 LTSC which is probably the best possible version of Windows, but I’d jump to linux if I could find a distro with a gui that feels at least as polished and feature rich as Windows 10 LTSC.

    Yeah I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon today and for some reason I couldn’t get working drivers for my wifi card installed, so I tried Zorin instead. I really love the look and feel, but I’m still having the no wifi issue. Weird. If I can’t get it to work I may need to buy a new wireless adapter. Mine is the Asus PCE-AC68

    Edit: Fixed it by cutting all power to the power supply, waiting a few minutes, pushing the power button while there was no power to fully drain any remaining power from the board, then I flipped the power supply back on, turned on the computer, booted straight to bios, then to Linux, now everything works great.

      Do a sudo dmesg | grep -i wireless or sudo dmesg | grep -i wifi and see if any errors pop up. Once you find what is causing issues, you can figure out what to do next :)

      @bigbox drivers sit in the linux kernel. You’ll need to wait for next iteration of OS to get a newer kernel that might include your wifi model as well. ZorinOS 17 is due to be released in a few months.
