I have the same adapter apparently: lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter [10ec:b822] Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad E595 [17aa:b023] Kernel driver in use: rtw_8822be First I did a git clone of the drivers: g...

Just a comment, no new suggestions:

I have almost the same Ideapad 530S, the AMD version, with the same wifi driver. And it works as it should.
Yes, having wifi power management off is mandatory. I also "dkms enabled" this driver, so it gets automatically re-included with kernel updates.

NextDNS is not something you run on your machine. You create your configurations on the site my.nextdns.io and then you specify this configuration on your device. I have made two configurations, one for more or less static computers (office iMac, laptop) and one for mobile devices (smartphone, table...

I'm using Firefox with add-on Facebook Container (and add-on Firefox Multi-Account Containers for other sites, like Amazon, banking, etc). Keeps them "contained". Of course, uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are there too. In addition I'm running NextDNS with suitable blocking lists selecte...

If you're on Mint 20, you can already install kernel 5.8 from Update Manager - View - Linux Kernels
I installed it yesterday and it works well.

If it doesn't work, it's easy to revert to the old one.

I would try two things: in BIOS, disable Secure Boot and check if there is a setting for boot order. If there is, move Linux Mint to first position (might be called Ubuntu). On my Lenovo laptop I had to do these. And every time I update the BIOS, the boot order gets reset with Windows10 first, and I...

Thank you @karlchen for excellent instructions !!

Thunderbird updated to latest version and old profile migrated successfully.

Tässä Lenovo Ideapad läppärissäni pitää varmistaa BIOS-asetuksista että Boot Order -listassa Linux-osio on ensimmäisenä.
Joka kerta kun tekee BIOS-päivityksen, Windows-osio on ekana, joten pitää korjata.
Lisäksi olen asettanut Secure Boot -option Off.

The kernel update of today, to 5.4.0-52, apparently changed something. Or maybe just the reboot could have helped.
Issue resolved.

Since a few days the dimming of the screen and turning it off does not work as defined in Power Management preferences. The screen just stays on even if it should turn off after 15 mins of inactivity (and dim after 10 mins). I don't know exactly when this behaviour started, so I don't know which upd...

I have the T4U version, Realtek RTL8822BU. I think the T3U is RTL8812BU. Drivers are in this package https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver that I'm using. To install: git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu cd rtl88x2bu VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms....

I briefly browsed through the relevant parts of the Maintenance and Service Guide http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03054480 My first take on how to do this would be: . Using the machine as-is, update BIOS to latest level . Create the Linux Mint install USB flash drive . Remove the disk from the...

I would be wary of sharing the profile data from another disk. Big risk of running into conflicts. For Firefox, why not setup a Firefox account and do the syncing that way? You can select what you want sync: bookmarks, passwords, etc., even open tabs. For email (Thunderbird), use IMAP and sync via t...

Select the account in the list, right click on it, select Settings.
At the bottom, under the list of accounts and folders, you have Account Actions.
Select that and then select Remove Account.

I'm using the rtw88 driver package from lwfinger, and it works very well for my adapter (RTL8822BE).
I gave it the "dkms treatment", so it gets automatically included when the kernel changes.

Using GParted, I ran into this bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/111

I have now reverted to kernel 5.4 and everything is ok.

Bleeding edge might hurt, and this time it did.
