Unable to locate wifi adapter on Pop!_OS
by Kooki Kodes from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MN4W)
Hello,
(*Note* I am a beginner and new to Linux) I have installed Pop!_OS on a different machine and it worked like a charm, which leads me to believe that this is a hardware or driver issue. Every tutorial I have followed has still been unsuccessful. I no longer know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time!
Here are my system specs
