Hey everyone, I've been facing a frustrating issue with my PC's Wi-Fi connectivity. After installing ALVR to get my VR set up on Linux Mint, I rebooted my system to troubleshoot a connectivity problem I had been experiencing. However, now it seems that my PC refuses to connect to any Wi-Fi network across different distributions. I even switched to Fedora to check if my Mint installation was the issue, but I encountered the same problem there too. When I returned to Linux Mint, the Wi-Fi issue persisted, and I've also noticed that the OS takes an extra couple of minutes to reach the splash screen, which is odd. I've attempted every possible solution, including purchasing a USB network adapter, but even after installing the necessary drivers, that didn't work either. Here are my system specs: Linux Mint 22.1, PRO B650-VC WIFI MSI motherboard, Ryzen 7 7700 CPU, RTX 4060TI, and 16 GB DDR5. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you haven't already, have you tried tethering your phone to the PC? It could serve as a temporary solution while you sort out the Wi-Fi issues.
Have you tried using Kubuntu with non-free drivers during the installation? It might help get your Wi-Fi working again.
I hadn't thought of trying Kubuntu! I was just running Mint and Fedora. Thanks for the tip!
Yeah, I actually tried tethering already, but thanks for the suggestion!
