Could you post the output of the command inxi -zxxN please?

You can use USB phone tethering to start posting your terminal outputs as text.

Please format any terminal output with three ``` backticks before and after, as shown in this picture:

Please read this thread on how to post required information properly:

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

Oh no... the forum is now threads of replies saying how to provide useful information...

I bet it still won't help.

Does the laptop have a hardware switch (or keybinding) for enabling/disabling wifi? - a place to start.

[docta_elmo]

There is a option for network boot

[arlo]

Network booting wouldn't be the issue. The ability to enable airplane mode is apparent in the picture you posted. Ensure that this feature hasn't been invoked. Also, some laptops have a physical switch to enable or disable wi-fi. Hence, the reason I asked. If those possibilities are ruled out, I suggest that you respond to @Takei's request. This will provide folks with much needed information.

[docta_elmo]

I did and it said 'Realtek pcie wireless network

Sorry, but you're missing the point. @Takei's message to you:

Install kernel 5.5 and reboot.

Uninstall any other realtek wifi drivers you have installed and then while on kernel 5.5 do:

sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qsq "^linux" | grep "^linux[0-9]*[-rt]*$" | awk '{print $1"-headers"}' ORS=' ')

sudo pacman -S pamac-cli --needed && pamac build rtl8821ce-dkms-git

Reboot.

[docta_elmo]

Trying it out, I'll tell you if it works

[docta_elmo]

Also how do I uninstall my network drivers

[tbg]

I don't have any idea as you would have been the one who installed them (if at all).

Did you install any realtek drivers from outside sources?

[docta_elmo]

No, it came when I got the computer

[tbg]

Then simply follow my install instructions if you haven't installed drivers from github.

[docta_elmo]

I got a network adapter and I thought I might try to get it to work on linux

[docta_elmo]

How do I get the network adapter to work?

[tbg]

You have posted no command outputs of your installation.

I'm not present at your computer, so without proper outputs in text format (not pics) it's impossible to say.
