Wifi Adapter

Hello,

I am new to Linux and Zorin. I just got a new laptop to make as my Linux computer but I am having trouble getting the wifi to work in Zorin. I checked in the additional drivers section of software and updates, nothing is listed. Although in regular Ubuntu, the driver shows up there just fine. Just not in Zorin.

Here is the exact laptop I have. Lenovo Ideapad S145. Intel Pentium Gold, 4 GB or RAM. I put in a SSD. The wireless driver that it uses in regular Ubuntu is Realtek 8821C PCIe Wifi driver from rtl8821ce-dkms (open source).

I have been trying various fixes in terminal that I have found in the forms here, but no success yet. I'd greatly appreciate any help that can be offered.

Thanks

Hi, try this fix - it does require the use of a terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T) - you can just copy and paste the commands given at the bottom of this thread:
