So close yet so far. Why must hardware support be so weird?

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.

Have you tried looking for the driver for your wireless card?
Yeah, I have. This set of Mediatek wireless adapters don't have any support yet despite being out for quite a while. I can't remember what model it is specifically, will edit the post with that when I get home.
What we can do if vendor decided to not support WiFi card driver for linux and about CPU is strange what CPU did u have that it was not working for u .also about wifi get Intel adapter
I'm guessing the old CPU was simply defective, and they needed to replace it to install any os.
