Ahh,actually fix the issue now i am currently running the latest version but there is a trade of for it i am unable to connect to my wifi Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188FTV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R 2.4G WLAN Adapter.Can you please help. I have taken help from gemini but unable to solve the issue.

Simply boot the previous working kernel from grub menu item "Additional Options for Zorin". Your issue could be due to kernel regression for that hardware.

It is no bad thing to run an older kernel that supports your hardware.

No no I mean whenever i update the kernel this wifi issue happens so i want to fix this permanently.Will dkms solve this issue

Sorry, if you want to go troubleshooting the issue with the new kernel, then you will have to wait for others to help with that.

Okay,Thanks for the help and also i have the question is the wifi adapter itself incompatible for the linux becuase previously also it happens

Yes, DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module support.

Hi @Arka, I think your problem is similar to one I had when I updated to the new kernel. I did find a solution which is explained there. Hope this helps!
