I assume you downloaded and installed firmware-realtek from the non-free section of the main Debian repo and still had no results?

installed debian yesterday, installed graphics driver but since i dont know the wifi adapter chipset i havent installed the driver, is there a way to fix this, my pc isnt detecting wifi

https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver i installed the driver using this

but wifi still not getting detected

this is the driver file that came with the adapter,but when i run the install.sh file it threw this error

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

I assume you downloaded and installed firmware-realtek from the non-free section of the main Debian repo and still had no results?

yes

that’s strange. So Network Manager does not pick up anything?

Did you use the official or unofficial ISO?

I had to connect all of my laptops with a ethernet cable, install isenkram package and run it as well

Yes

It’s strange. When you installed the package did you reboot?

Yes

And what hardware are you running Debian on?

Intel i5 9th gen

8gb ram
Nvidia gt 730

Which DE? Which ISO are you using?

Kde

The one from debian website

There are many from Debian Website. Which one? Can you paste the name of the file?

Wait

https://www.debian.org/CD/live/ torrent, i guess. Downloaded this few months back

Try this one:
https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/11.4.0-live+nonfree/amd64/bt-hybrid/debian-live-11.4.0-amd64-kde+nonfree.iso.torrent

Since you want to work with KDE… this is the right ISO for it. All firmware andneeded drivers should be on this. Check it out

Even with the non-free firmware ISO I still had to use Ethernet and install Isenkram package on all of my laptops to get wireless working, I believe even the AMD chipset HP(I’d have to double check it).

Ok thanks

Can you recomend debian or debian based distro that has latest packages (like kde, and other important ones) but that doesnt break the system like majaro or arch does. But it needs to be rolling too, i dont wanna reinstall after every 6 months. I really dont wanna use any os other than debian, got used to it. But old packages are anoying, even backports have old ones, thats sad

debian testing if you are “brave”
It’s the rolling release basically.

Testing is far from rolling. The closest version of Debian to a rolling format is probaby sid/experimental.

That’s what I use its stable af

Well, it has updates every single day. I mean. Why would you need more?

If you need something just download the .deb from github as i do sometimes

I didn’t write my previous message because I’m unsatisfied with Testing, which I think it’s probably the best version of Debian for desktop usage, but I just wanted to point out that Testing isn’t a rolling release.

it just rolls less 😅

So should i go for sid or testing
