From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In my sky high arrogance I thought 'I have never let Linux grace my devices, how hard can Qubes/Whonix truly be?' and I learned my lesson within minutes.

So I come here before you, humbly and beaten by 0s and 1s, to ask for your help.

How do I open a window where it neatly lists available connections and, if so, my current connection?

Usually when I am connected, it has a wifi symbol on the top right where the rest of my panels are. It disappeared.

I tried searching on the internet for answers. My mental capacity is basically non-existent, otherwise I wouldn't be here (probably).

Please. I just want to connect my device via wifi. I do not own an ethernet cable.

Thank you.

Unfortunately it didn't help, thanks anyway!
