i have tried everything i could possibly think of, but Linux will not connect to the internet until i restart it. it doesn’t matter what distro i use, it won’t connect. on windows, it connects immediately, but only with fast start enabled. i have reset the router, the BIOS is up to date, and I’ve tried pretty much every solution i could find online. at this point i think it’s a hardware issue, but I’d like to know if there’s anything i can try before giving up on Linux until i get a new PC. any help is greatly appreciated!

    Fast boot in BIOS is about skipping tests, it’s usually safe to leave alone

      Ah, thanks! Didn’t know that. I guess it wont have an effect then and can be ignored.

      Edit: fixed up wording.
