    Timeshift backups to NAS at home and to my laptop drive when on the road

    I am running PopOS 22.04 on my MacBook Pro 2015, and having received some help from the linux community am now productive on it.

    [SOLVED] Cannot get WiFi recognized when installing PopOs 22.04 on 2015 MacBook Pro

    @kc1di Just to complete this tale of misery, I also tried out the sequence in the page Broadcom Ubuntu/Mint. No Joy.

    [SOLVED] Cannot get WiFi recognized when installing PopOs 22.04 on 2015 MacBook Pro

    It could look like the driver bcmwl----- is out of sync with the kernel, in which case I will use the laptop tethered to my network switch with an RJE45 and hope that things will improve in the near future. I am certainly not going to buy a wifi repeater and wire the laptop to that one Thx a bnch

    I did sudo apt update && sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source, but not the mod probe and reboot. Back to the saltiness and try again. Thanks a lot for your patience with a newbie!

    [SOLVED] Cannot get WiFi recognized when installing PopOs 22.04 on 2015 MacBook Pro

    Or, since I plan to take the laptop on to the road on May 23, could that let bcmwl catch up with the current kernel? I am a maths application programmer and know less about linux kernel swapping than colonel Sanders ;) Is downgrading a job for the fainthearted?

    [SOLVED] Cannot get WiFi recognized when installing PopOs 22.04 on 2015 MacBook Pro

However, I have succeeded in installing flavors of Ubuntu and Fedora with proper functioning of all hardware as far as I can see. Also, it looks as if PopOS is drawing from the...

    [SOLVED] Cannot get WiFi recognized when installing PopOs 22.04 on 2015 MacBook Pro

    I am a seasoned technical calculations developer with C/C++, Fortran (and C#) on Windows, MacOS and RHEL, but an absolute neophyte when it comes to hardware drivers and linux kernels. I have fallen in love with PopOS installed on virtual computers, and now my MacBook Pro 15in 2015 model is no...
