Whenever I boot or install different distros of Linux, I can't get the ethernet to work. I've tried Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin. Older versions of Mint 19, still the same. I've heard that it's a kernel problem. I should install a later kernel version. But this I don't know how to do, install a kernel in offline mode. My mobo has a Intel I225-v adapter. Do you think if I bought an aftermarket network card, I could get Mint to work? My Setup AMD Ryzen 7 3800x ASUS Rog B550 F MB G.Skill ram
NVM. I found out that I can use my cell phone as a wifi hotspot and linux will use it thru the usb. Now I can try out different kernels. Thanks.
