    This vibes with me, but fifteen years ago me.

    Installed Ubuntu on my first netbook and had to sit in the stairs to the second floor jacked into the single Ethernet cable we had for a few hours to troubleshoot it.

    I haven’t used every distro, but it seems like most of them are plug and play these days.

      That’s why I keep a 20m ethernet cable handy at all times 😂.

      I just installed mint on a new laptop. The wifi surprisingly didn’t work on the liveusb, but switching to the Edge release with a newer kernel worked fine.
