Hello Fans,
wondering why in many distros it's so difficult to get wifi connection... they all have a wired presetconnection but that is not working either. So i'm happy with Zorin and easy connection.
I know there are more difficult things to come... you will hear from me!
Try using your phone as a data hotspot. Around a campfire in the middle of the desert.
Easy Peasy for me in Conmann using antiX.
Have fun with Ubuntu/Zorin.

Zorin OS is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution designed especially for newcomers to Linux. It has a Windows-like graphical user interface and many programs similar to those found in Windows.
KUbuntu 'just works' here. I have a couple of laptops and as above just enter SSID and password and you are there (as long as you are in range of course). I've installed KUbuntu on my dad's laptop and it was just as easy in his home. Not difficult at all. My desktops, and servers are all 'hard-wired' which also is simple to setup (with DHCP it is just <click> in cable and automatically connected, static IPs not that much more difficult). Those RPIs (PI OS) that require Wifi are also just as simple to setup. But I am sure there are 'some' distros that are harder to setup Wifi. Just haven't run into them lately .
Hi Fans !
All the nice answers give me some form of hope when it comes to wifi. But i must say even with the hotspot of my phone there are no positiv results. And to think about ssid's is also horrible. Why is there no better way like in Zorin!?
Hi Fans, still satisfied with zorin 17.1... so far so good.... but there is another funny thing... when using skype, aafter shutdown and new start into windows11 there is always a 6hour difference to my real time. I skype with a german friend and the time difference is 6 hours but in the settings of win11 and the zorin the have both the same timezone... so what happens here... how can i stopp that.. its not nice to adjust the time everytime again, even when the timezone is set to auto, the time is set to auto... and i think it should not happen at all
Thanks for your input in advance....

Solution: Wipe Windows altogether, install Linux and then install VirtualBox on top of Linux to create a Windows VM (if you need Windows for something in particular).
