I have been using linux in my old laptop for some time. I just got my new laptop [Samsung NT550XDZ-AD5AW]. So, I installed Linux Mint 20.1 then found three problems i.e touchpad not working , wifi not working and second display not being detected. I also get a ACPI BIOS Error on booting.
inxi -F gives following output.
lshw -C network gives following output.
My wifi card is Intel Wifi 6 AX201 160 MHz. While searching for the solution I found some posts from few years back saying the card was not supported before kernel 5.2 but that is not the situation now.
xrandr --verbose gives following output
It does not even detect HDMI
cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -I touchpad gives nothing.
I have tried a bunch of things from different forums but nothing worked. The problems have nothing to do with the hardware everything works fine in windows. Please help people. I don't want to go back to using windows.
