soo..
I downloaded linux mint....and everything else works for now....except for the network driver:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QUsDVj ... F4SYSNGPSj
as you can see, i just dont have a network driver
I basically have two questions:
1. how do i download the driver for my lenovo yoga 7 16-IRL-8, which already has linux mint installed
2. does/will the driver even work if/when i download it.
- the driver link in the manufacturer page is https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/prod ... river-list
- I have a PC with windows 11, and i have 2 Thumb drives with more than enough storage needed,
- is that how i would download?
- and what would i do (please tell step by step or give link that does) when i insert the usb stick with the driver into my laptop?
and about the second question, how would i know if it even works? is there a place to check? does a person know?
ps. please tell me what else to put if i need more information, i do not know how to ask questions
