Hey everyone! I recently tried installing Linux Mint on my HP 15s laptop, which has an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVMe SSD. I've set it up for dual booting with Windows to switch between both operating systems. However, I'm facing a major issue: I can't connect to Wi-Fi on Mint. It keeps saying that wireless is unavailable, and despite my attempts to install drivers, nothing seems to work. Should I reinstall Linux Mint or try a different distro? If I should switch, which one would you recommend? Thanks for the help!

It sounds like your Wi-Fi card might not be supported by Linux in general. Changing the distro won’t necessarily fix that issue. You should check what Wi-Fi card you have by running `lspci | grep Network` in the terminal to figure out if it’s compatible with Linux.
My Wi-Fi card is the Realtek RTL8852BE. Do you think that's a major issue?
