If you have PCI power management in your BIOS settings, try disabling it to improve net speed.
Can you try installing in terminal:
sudo apt install r8168-dkms
Once complete, reboot and test.

I got this error while trying to install what you sent me:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
tried to troubleshoot with these commands but non worked.
also what happened is I LAN does not connect anymore X) so I had to bring a USB WiFi adapter to send this luckily it worked
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
You're right but truthfully it is very exhausting as a someone who just wants to do their computing without all of this hassle going on every time I turn on my computer.
Do you recommend me any distribution that's not an Ubuntu derivative that I can rely on without much issues like these?
I thought about Arch Linux or maybe Debian or even Fedora.
Can you run
sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Then try running the install for 8168-dkms again.
Please take a photo or screenshot of the full terminal output if it errors.

It does not like the kernel version...
Which led me to a bug report for it...

Please run
sudo apt --fix-broken install
In the meantime, are you on a notebook computer? Have you disabled the in-built PowerSave:
and also done this?
Sorry not derive topics but you can also recommend me some other distros that will save me time to do my computing without much driver issues and thanks I really appreciate your help <3
I can recommend distros, but if there was a perfect OS or Distro that never has Driver issues, we would all be on it. Windows OS, MacOS and all varieties of GnuLinux, BSD, etc all run into driver issues.
I would be remiss to make a recommendation that you only end up running into driver issues on.
For now, let's see if you are on a notebook computer and if disabling powersave helps:

Download the driver:
https://www.realtek.com/en/directly-download?downloadid=98145fdc0ec1b6270e7ce75e6af78834
Once it finishes downloading, go to your Downloads folder and right click the zipped file and select "Extract here".
Enter the extracted folder and right click the autorun.sh and choose Properties > Permissions and ensure it is checked to run as executable.
Then double click it to run it.

Well... The driver is included in the Linux kernel.
Can you post the output of
uname -r
We can try reinstalling the Linux Kernel, then rebooting.

did not work..........
thanks i will look into it, i don't have dual boot with windows i went on with bare-metal installation X)
honestly I will try with this issue more if it kept going i will go to debian or anything other than Ubuntu since my personal experience with it so far is extremely bad XXXXXXXX))))
why can't i just ignore this new linux kernel and get an older one that's like 5 something?
or Zorin won't function well with it?
