I'm using linux mint 64 MATE. I just bought my mini pc and it came with ubuntu 20.04 and that's where the trouble started. After an hour or so of use the wifi stopped working. I read that mint is easier to use than ubuntu so I installed it today. Wifi worked during installation and for a while after then it disconnected. I have a wireless dongle as well as the onboard wifi card. Neither are working. I'm assuming I have to use an ethernet cable to fix this but I'd like to know what to do first.
please forgive me if I do this wrong but this is what inxi -fxz got me in the terminal:
