From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What does: sudo lspci
Output? If it doesn't show up in the output of that command it may be a hardware issue. Also some laptops have physical wifi switches that people forget are there and accidentally switch on.
narutouzumaki@pop-os: ~$ sudo Ispci
It's probably related to this recent issue
In my experience Broadcom on Linux is a bad omen, second only to Nvidia. If you can, I'd recommend switching your Wi-Fi card for one that has better Linux support (e.g. "TP-Link Archer TX3000E" or anything that uses an Intel chip inside really since support for them is handled directly by Intel and integrated into Linux's source code). Good luck! :)
Tnx wery much, thats what i wanted to know. Whats the isue and what is better wifi card for linux since this one looked like bad opcion for compatability, even i could conclude that. XD
No worries Mickey Mice! Hopefully you won't face any more big hardware issues after that ^^'
Good luck in your Linux journey! :)
Tnx you are welcome :)))
