My name is Brandi, I am new to linux.org, so I guess that means I would be classified as a beginner. which is fine with me. Everything that I have learned is by asking google a butt load of questions and a lot of confusing results that I tried to understand what I was reading by asking a question on the results of the prior question that I had asked just to try to get clarification to the question i originally asked in the first place, which by the time i gert this far I cant remember which nof the many questions that I have that I tend to become overwhelmed and a little discourged and then I once again go squirrel and am on some other project that I also am doing. I have severe ADHD, and keeping on track isnt always easy then lets add the damage to my brain that happened in 05 from a bad car accident to the equation and that all on its own has made it even harder to retain things as well as I was able to prior to the accident. So I need all the help that I can possibly get. And I am not into the OMG I am so sorry sh*t, I just need some understanding and non judgemental members willing to help me so I can help myself succeed and gain the knowledge that I ready to gain. Anyways, I am supoose to intrduce myself, I love photography, art, animals, long walks, and helping others. I have lots of projects that I have started and would love to find some people that is willing to be apart of my vision that will indeed be global and very successful once I am able to get it up and running. I dont have enough time or space to explain it here IM me if you are seriously interested., I love the linux that I currently have on my computer, BUT I am struggling with figuring out how to fix what ever is going on with the not being able to connect to the internet. I currently have Linux Ubuntu Studio, a little history about my lenovo flex 3, I got this computer from my ex-husband and when i originally got it him and his buddy somehow wiped the hard dive, and I cannot for the life of me figure out the hell they did but when I tried to install window 10 it would not allow me to do so. when it was brand new, I know that it was running windows 8, I only know that cause it states that on the back of the laptop. I have a Lenovo EliteBook flex-3 it has an intel core i5 vPro 8th gen processor 64bit and after multiple unsuccessful attempts of installing windows; I finally gave up and decided to try something else. My boyfriend is the one who told me about Linux and the things that I can do with Linux that I can't do on windows made me very interested in Linux. I then googled Linux and learned of the multiple different styles that Linux offered that I wasn't sure which one to pick. I opened my ChatGPT and asked it to help me pick which Linux I should pick for the type of things that I am interested in and like to do and Linux ubuntu studio almost covers all of the things that I has listed. plugged my USB drive into the laptop and it actually allowed me to install it as the operating system. for a few months and many updates, it would list a bunch of bios errors then it would open ubuntu studio. well 4 to 6 months ago after an update to no longer was able to access the internet. I was getting an error that I can't find anymore but I have it connected to our Xfinity Wi-Fi
account and it stated connected then an arrow down jumping from 3.8 to 3.1 to 2.5 the down to 0KiB/sand an arrow up with 0 B/s to 198B/s back to 0 B/s and none of the updates are updating. when I click on google chrome, I get a no internet check network, cables, modem, and router the reconnect to Wi-Fi then underneath that it shows DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET I DO RECALL AT ONE POINT IT STATED IP Configuration incorrect. I know I have written a lot, and I thank you for actually taking the time to read all that I have written, and I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions. I also attached a couple pictures and a short video of what it does when I power it on
