Urgent Help with new mini pc

General Help
1

Hi! I've bought a new computer, and on windows it is the best.
On Linux, zorin os 16 lite, I have no wifi, no sound over hdmi, no bluetooth.
I'd need to get those. I've tried to install the 6.4 Kernel {where they fix all these issues} but it complains about libssl and libc6.
How can I proceed?

2

Which version of Zorin OS are you installing; 16 or 17?

Hey @Aravisian ! It's been so long!
How are you?
By the way, Zorin os 16 lite (it was written in the op too)

Sorry, I need to run sudo apt clean && sudo apt upgrade on my brain...

A new Mini PC probably does need the latest kernel. If you were installing manually from the Canonical mainline supply, it likely will complain about libc6.

If you need higher than 6.5 kernel, I recommend switching to Zorin OS 17.
Zorin OS 17 Lite should be coming Soon.

Should I switch to Zorin os core for now? I LOVE xfce...

I'd need 6.4... can I try xanmod? Will it work?

Don't fret, I fully understand you.

Nevermind, TuxInvaders kernel for focal does fit:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline

sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-6.06

That will put you on 6.6.5

All I see is a black screen. What can I do?

ugh

Use esc or tab at boot to pull up the Grub Menu.
Choose Advanced Options for Zorin and select Zorin on... the earlier working kernel to boot from.

You might try the nomodeset parameter on the 6.6.5 kernel

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
ctl+o, enter, ctl+x

sudo update-grub

If that does not work, you can remove the 6.6.5 kernel

sudo apt remove linux-generic-6.06

sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove

Mate, you know what?
I'll try to download Manjaro xfce. If it works, I'll then use that for a while and wait for Zorin 17 lite.
