From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian 12 install problem (lemm.ee)

Hey guys. Yesterday I tried installing Debian 12.2. with the easy graphical install since I was doing it first time but I got stuck on DHCP settings becaus It didnt connect to my wifi. So I ignored it for the time being but when I loaded in desktop enviroment I still saw no wifi to which I could connect to. The problem shouldnt be with my card or wifi adapter since they worked no problem on previous distros( Linux Mint, Arch and Fedora). I just dunno what to do now. Can you give me some tips? Edit: As Rignmaster said. I connected my pc to a ethernet cable and istalled debian again and that worked magic. Now I can connect to net even via my wifi adapter. Many thanks to all of you guys for tips :D

Also sorry for super long delay. Yesterday after work I went out with my boys and I got completely wasted and I needded whole day to recover xD

Your phone but not your home wifi? But it detects it?

I remember long time ago HP put wifi cards in some.laptops that had two antennas and only connect one. That worked fine on windows with the HP provided wifi drivers but Linux drivers were using the disconnected one by mistake which cause it to only detect wifi spots very near to it. You had to somehow change it so the driver used the other antenna.

Until I found out what it was it gave a lot of headaches... It also caused issue with Bluetooth as the wifi worked terrible when using the Bluetooth or vice versa... That part I didn't solve it.
