I'm a completely new Linux user, absolute newbie, but eager to learn. I have installed Manjaro (KDE edition) on my HP Notebook (dual-booting it alongside Windows 10.) My problem is that I can't see or connect to Wi-Fi networks, I've been searching and I don't even understand what's going on, my network manager doesn't even seem to show an icon for Wi-Fi and I see in some other screenshots from some other users that there should be a Wi-Fi icon and an airplane icon.
I can use a wired connection without any issues, but I need Wi-Fi for this laptop.
Here's a screenshot
Here are the results of $ inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
