I'm completely new to Linux and just switched from Pop!_OS to Linux Mint a few days ago. Now, my laptop won't connect to WiFi, although I can connect to my iPhone's hotspot without issues. I'm feeling pretty confused because I've already updated all my drivers and my system with the update manager. Should I consider getting an Ethernet cable, even though I can't buy one right now?

I get that you're new to this, but it's time to give the terminal a shot! Just press CTRL+SHIFT+T to open it and then run `iwctl`. After that, type `station wlan0 scan` and then `station wlan0 connect ` to select your network and enter the WiFi password. It might take a minute, but give it a try!
Quick question: Can I run `iwctl` without being connected to WiFi? Also, how long does it usually take for iwd to start?
