    I’m having weird issues with my Wifi where it will just suddenly stop working (Plasma will show “no available connections”) and I have to hard reset the machine because Linux won’t shut down otherwise. It’s not a hardware issue since it doesn’t happen on Windows.

      Huh weird, I had the exact same issue on Windows and I solved it by switching to Linux. It was triggered by using too much bandwidth on local network so transferring stuff between my fileserver was impossible.

      It almost sounds like when I tried a wifi dongle on my mother’s desktop. I found out it was deprecated thanks to the manufacturer dropping support for Linux drivers. It worked fine on windows though.

        Will need to. The issue is that it happens at random and I haven’t found the actual cause yet. I am using macOS for a project right now though, so that’s kept me busy too.

      Have you thought of doing a clean install or at least trying a different distro?
