Okay, so I did a fresh install of Linux Mint because I wanted to switch to a different OS. Everything has been fine except getting this stupid fucking driver to work with my network.

this is the driver
Code: 
01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

Code:

Yes, I've updated the kernel
Yes, I've done sudo apt-get upgrade and update
Yes, I've installed a million drivers trying to fix this

Using an OpenRC system for the first time, and this is shit. Why do people like this‽ SystemD's management of programs is much better. Centralization is superior, even if it's *supposedly* not as efficient (never heard a convincing argument for this).

I use both. Both are fine. I honestly can't tell a difference in the boot time between Gentoo with openrc and arch with systemd.

Openrc does make some things simple. But really in use they are almost the same. And because so many things are made with systemd in mind, a lot of the time it's easier to set up certain services with it. So in that sense it's technically a little easier to use.

At this point. I don't think the actual product is what people hate. They just hate the idea of it. Which if that's what people want to spend their time being mad at, that's fine with me. It does work well though

And runnit I actually just hated that. Not for me.

Update on the binpkg thing. It was because I set the CHOST variable in make.conf at some point. I removed that and now it looks like it's working again.

Ok.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?
All that doesn't show any errors.
Does iwconfig show the device and see it as wireless?
does "iw <device> scan" show the SSIDs?

yes, it lists the SSIDs but it cannot connect to the network at all. whenever i try and connect, it’ll disconnect and say error

my issue is i cannot connect to my network but i can see it displayed

Based on what I can find, the
Code: 
wlol
is the only device that I am having issue with. I’ve installed different Realtek drivers and updated the current one installed but nothing has worked so far.

If you create a hotspot wifi network or try connecting to a different network, does it work? I found that the Debian installer refuses to connect to my wifi router but would connect to a hotspot fine, and when installed Debian would connect just fine.

And how does BTRFS work? Is it like a filesystem built on top of a SQL database?

It says your wifi driver is enabled in that output it looks like.

How are you trying to connect to the network?

1-Try reloading the Module:

Code: 
sudo modprobe -r rtw_8822ce
sudo modprobe rtw88_8822ce

2-Bring up the Interface: After reloading the module, try bringing up the interface manually:


Code: 
sudo ip link set wlo1 up

Consider using the latest drivers from Realtek's GitHub repository
Code: 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential dkms git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88.git
cd rtw88
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -r rtw88_8822ce
sudo modprobe rtw88_8822ce

Check rfkill Again
Code: 
rfkill list all


Check dmesg Logs
Code: 
dmesg | grep rtw

Look for rtw88_8822ce
these messages might provide additional clues

LMDE is the best. The only flaw I could find is that the Debian kernel doesn't have the latest drivers for things like the Intel Arc GPUs, but that won't be a dealbreaker for most people.

First thing I always do is switch kernels out anyway and I have never had an issue doing so, so yeah I agree. I think the only thing I get jealous of elsewhere is ubuntu's insanely good support life, especially with the free pro service. 10+ years is incredible, too bad they married themselves to Gnome, the biggest piece of shit DE out there these days.
