What do you mean that? PopOS is generally recommended for gaming for people who are new to Linux, any distribution will do for programming. If you want another distribution for gaming I would recommend a rolling release distribution something Arch based, have a look at either EndeavourOS or Manjaro.

But why not stick to PopOS?
 
cause the wifi thing and i need to use the laptop and an ethernet connection will be so annoying cause i am kinda far from the router
 
and what about ubuntu do u recommend it for like gaming and programing
 
I see, create a bootable usb thumdrive with both Manjaro and EndeavourOS. Then boot from it and see if your wifi works, as well as to see if you like the distribution and also try Mint which is more like Ubuntu/PopOS.

Like I said before both will be fine for gaming and programming, I think Ubuntu or Mint will be better for you since like PopOS they are beginner distributions. Be sure to create a thumb drive with all the ones you want to try so that you can live boot into them and see if the wifi works and then see what you think of them before installing.

Too bad we didn't fix it but I don't think it's something we could fix since it broke after a package upgrade. No I'm just a community member who try to help others out and to help others learn.

I have discord but I am not your private support line that's why I'm here on the forum. ;)

Strange it looks like the driver is loaded but your system is not recognizing the device anyways. Can you also share the output of the following.
Code: 
lsmod | egrep "bcma|wl"

Code: 
a-sajjad72@pop-os:~$ lsmod | egrep "bcma|wl"
wl                   6488064  0

I dont see a driver installed, try going to the software manager, search broadcom from the results, select ans install b43 fwcutter
 
Just had another thought, if it's a laptop, check and make sure the update hasn't enabled flight mode

ThankYou that was the issue which you just mentioned. after 9 hours internet surfing, following internet tutorials and articles, i came to know that the flight mode is on.
strange thing is that pop! os doesn't mentioned this thing on GUI like showing an icon for flight mode. and also the button is little lower side of the laptop due to which I can't see it.
