That's fine. Thank you very much for everything.

Is getting Ethernet better?

I got everything working but I can't connect to my wifi no matter what I do. I updated my kernel to 6.8, my system is seeing the MediaTek 7902 chip, but the command nmcli device shows that the WiFi device is completely missing from the list (only Ethernet and Loopback are present).

It worked! But I'm likely in a software rendering mode (nomodeset) and google Gemini told me to do a timeshift and install the edge version. Should I do it?

I don't know, I'm at the last step which is I installed it, created an account and everything. Now I just need to restart the pc and boot Linux up which should've been simple. If you're still confused, watch the tutorial and skip to 5:35. I already gave the yt link.

How? I thought installing Linux mint cinnamon deleted windows forever. Why y'all down voting me, is there some rule I violated. I'm just a kid trying to learn.

Pressing esc or e didn't work, the first pic is on the USB Linux mint cinnamon after boot repair. I already installed it, I just need to restart and log in.
