Beginner: New Ubuntu install - Wifi card issue - sh.itjust.works
Hello, I’ve been trying to do my first stride in Linux’s world by installing
Ubuntu on my laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen) to replace W10 who was working
well but is loosing support soon. Well the test result is… unclear. Ubuntu
itself is fast and working rather well but… my Wifi card seem to have problem
with Ubuntu. Before giving up and re-installing W10 I’m trying to find help to
solve this issue. I created a full description of the issue on the Ubuntu forum,
here:

Any help would be very appreciated Edit: After trying the suggestion below to
power down and remove the battery without any success, I’ll try to use a
“windows to go” w10 USB drive to try to change the WiFi card power settings as
suggested in some other answers.

Hello all, My Galaxy S8 is starting to feel its age. After now close to 7 years
of service, it’s starting to show its limits. The usual problems: Battery
getting weaker and weaker, generally slow (My once/month visit of instagram for
example is… a stutter) and, mot simportantly, no more security update. I’m
tempted to switch it to GrapheneOS and continue but I’m really afraid some
“official” apps won’t work anymore (mostly banking apps). In October last year I
started my quest for a new Android phone with the S8 form factor, or as close as
possible for pocket-fit. I’ve checked the various guide on this community and
came ouf with the same question I had while doing research on my side. #
Contenders were: - Fairphone 5, which philosophy was extremely tempting,
especially the “fair” aspect and the self-repairing capabilities. However, its
form factor and what I heard about extremely slow patch/updates were the last
nail in its coffin-size (161.6 x 75.83 x 9.6 mm). - Cosmic Dolphin (Link
[https://cosmicdolphins.ch/product/untraceable-phone]) was also extremely
tempting (secure OS, mechanical switch for GPS/Camera/Mice…) but a new company
means possible bancrupcy and no more security update, plus the form factor
(159.7 x 73.3 x 7.8 mm) meant it was also a no. - Xperias 5V and other in the
lineup seemed interesting, especially the SD card slot. But no info regarding
software updates and way to expensive. # Only two made the cut and I have to
choose between: None have a SD card, jack socket or removable battery but it
seems these features are becoming more and more of a rarity. Both have a at
least 4 years of updates still. Galaxy S23 Positives: * 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm *
Updates for at least 3 years * 128 / 256 Gb Storage * Cheaper now that the S24
should arrive soon. Negatives: * Proc is a bit less efficient (meaning less time
for the same battery size)… Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the
S23 being more efficient. Pixel 8 Positives: * 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm * 7 year of
updates * 128 / 256 Gb Storage * I heard their Proc were more efficient than
S23’s Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more
efficient. * Compatible with GrapheneOS (if test on my old S8 shows the
important app I have still work there). Negatives: * Google… Data leach amon
leeches. * This insuferable camera bar on the back… Not really handy and will
probably ruin a lot of pant’s pocket. I’m split between these two. * Would you
have any advices regarding one or the other? * Points I haven’t mentionned here?
