Just installed Zorin education on my Asus Vivobook and it says no wifi adapter found. I ran sudo lshw -C network and got this

Mediatek are known not to work well with GNU/Linux without complicated methods to get them working. You would save yourself a lot of grief by purchasing a wifi-dongle in the long run.
Are secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS disabled (or have you created a MoK for use Linux with secure boot enabled)?
If you have a Dualboot with Windows, is fast startup disabled in the energy settings of Windows?
Did you take a look at Software & Updates > Additional drivers
if there is offered a WLAN driver?
But therefore you need Internet access.
Would you please post the terminal output of
rfkill list
to see if the WLAN is blocked?
When you try to connect your phone for USB tethering make sure that USB tethering is enabled on your phone and a cable for data transfer is used and not a cable which allows just charging.
Secure boot and fast boot are both disabled in my BIOS
I'm not dual booting windows just striaght zorin
In the additional drivers theres nothing listed there ive checked multiple times
And with the rfkill list nothing is soft or hard blocked
Which Asus Vivobook model do you have? Is it a very new one? Then installing a later kernel may help. You can use the mainline installer tool or liquorix kernel.
