I set up Linux on my laptop today and connected to Wi-Fi. It took nine-ish hours.

    @luckyNmber that's what I did and it's locking up like a mofo I might try another none Ubuntu/Ubuntu bastard child distribution

    Press e added it right where you said and then f10 and it's like nope so I tried the other option then e same again and f10 to book a default generic option same out come it installed but just won't let me boot in to the installed version, hardware people are pissing me off cpu makes help create hardware back doors and other ones make it hard for other OS's to run ms have no right to spy on me in the first place.

    I went with Ubuntu on my laptop. Bluetooth had issues (thanks broadcom! Really appreciate it) but that was an easy fix. 15 mins top. Graphics took ~3-4 hours to setup with optirun. Using this setup for about 2 years now. Thankfully, Updates hasn't broke anything... Yet.

    @luckyNmber the MSI was the cheapest one of its type in the UK so I am happy with the hardware just not the OS lol

    I have a Acer Aspire v7 it didn't last five minutes with Windows, so far a couple driver issues with Fedora, but everything is running well now.
