I've never had good results with a realtek wifi card. You can generally get them going with a compiled driver (dkms) but it always seems fussy and prone to breakage, so I almost always swap them out for an intel. Usually it's an easy swap, and not expensive, but do check for that. Other issue that I have commonly faced with a newer laptop has been audio - I can't see what's in this one for audio, so check that one too. But other than that, it looks pretty standard and should work with linux. On Tue, 6 Jul 2021 at 10:16, Robert P. J.
