Today I tried installing Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia on my brand new HP laptop (I'd much rather use Linux than slow, bloated Windows 10!), and the Wifi is nowhere to be found. It will only acknowledge the existence of ethernet. I've searched around the internet and tried updating the kernel (from 14.10.0-38 to 14.10.0-42), but this didn't change anything.
Here are my specs:
