Hello from Greece, I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite pro c850 1k3 with mint 13 mate installed. From the beggining I expierienced many problems, my printer does not worrk because of lack of drivers, the laptop does not recognizes my android cellphones, my tv adaptor (avermedia) does not work because of lack of drivers and last but most importand, I cannot connect without problems to my router, every here and than the laptopd disconnects himselfe for about 5 minutes and then connects again. Many times the connection seems to work because the indication is ok, but nothing works, the internet does not work. Same problem with ethernet connection..
And there is no problem with my router because the same time my android phone works great with the same router..
I am really wondering why to use mint and linux if there are sooo many problems. With windows everything was perfect and unfortunatelly I have to buy windows to go rid of those problems, something I don't want to do... If the problem is solved with tthe connection I can concider seriusly to continue using mint.. and I want it...
Please help and btw tell me if there is any reason to run mint..
