From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, but apparently I have one of the only WiFi/Bluetooth chip of MediaTek Corps. MT Series that is inexplicably not supported. Most others of that lineup are, just this exact one isn't.
i learned from my recent incursion into setting up a concept ubuntu build for snapdragon laptops that you can pull binaries from the windows partition to make the wifi drivers work
