    I was almost at the point earlier of asking someone if they could help with a wifi card issue, but so glad I don’t have to now. I always feel like I always bungle something up whenever I try to explain what my problem is and/or paste any logs or whatever is needed to help, so I relate to this meme.

    Thank goodness for ethernet and my ability to realize I need to add that ethernet connection as a new internet connection. Now I can have internet access and be able to use it to research a card that not only fits, but also works with linux.

      Haha good work! It’s good to have fall backs, I’m currently using my phone as a wifi hotspot connected to my computer via USB for an internet connection because I didn’t want a wifi motherboard and my old cheap mesh network set I thought was not secure enough to keep using

    So what we’re saying is that the Linux developer community is generally bad at writing log messages and error descriptions.

      I mean, it could most definitely be better, but I really don’t think that it’s worse on Linux. Error handling is one of the hard problems in computer science in general.

      And well, at least you do get easy access to logs and error messages on Linux, which makes it infinitely better in many ways, but is also at least partially why this post exists.
      On Windows or such, you’d instead put a vague description into a search engine and hope someone had the same symptoms before…

        The “fixes” on Windows are always

        Step 1) Run antivirus

        Step 2) sfc /scannow

        Step 3) reinstall Windows

          Hey, that’s not true!

          Tap for spoiler

          You also run “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” on step 2.

        Yeah, lol. At least the log says something vaguely useful. Instead of some Windows app that tells you Something went wrong :( and that’s all you get.
