so I used Linux Mint for quite a while now and I really like it, though I don't really have a clue about any of this "programming stuff". After I bought my Laptop I knew I had to make some fixes regarding to the Wi-Fi setup.
What I had to do was this:
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be
sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2
inxi -Fxz spits this out:
