I'm a new user of Zorin OS and I'm trying to connect to Wi-Fi, but I'm having trouble entering the password correctly. I recently revived my 2017 MSI GE72VR 7RF Apache Pro gaming laptop and I want to get online to update the operating system. I've read that my Wi-Fi card is a "Killer GB LAN - 802.11 ac Wi-Fi". As a graphic designer, I'm really eager to install Affinity since I've heard it works on Linux. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you're having a rough start! First off, Affinity doesn’t have native support for Linux yet, but you can run it through GE-Proton10-25 without major issues if you want to give it a shot. For your Wi-Fi problem, try running this command in the Terminal: `lspci | grep -i -e wireless -e network`. It will help identify your wireless card. Many laptops from around that time use either the Intel 3165 or the Killer 1535, which can be tricky with some drivers on different Linux distributions. Once you know which card you have, we can troubleshoot further!
I ran your command in the terminal and it shows "Network controller: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW [Stone Peak] (Rev 10)". What does this mean?
