Just built a brand new linux desktop, no wifi dongles work in it.
If I want wifi i need specifically order from this company.
I’m gonna be so sad if this doesn’t work

Debian? Ubuntu?
Because those use old kernels (okay, maybe ubuntu patches in newer versions of in kernel drivers) Recent kernel updates got many new supported wifi chipsets:

I’m talking about the newest version of Mint I installed last month that is useless because it can’t use the drivers for the wifi dongles I own
