      @thwr I got frustated because the same dependency error comes repeatedly with different names in the command prompt for the Wifi Driver itself

      Did you fix your other problem before? You need to solve that, because that's causing the failure (and every other error in the future)

        Just build a custom kernel?

        This is expert level stuff. I don't think this is a path for him to be attempting.

        Let's say "intermediate". But yes, moving on to a different distro is probably his best bet.

        If it doesn't work on Ubuntu, I'd imagine it won't work on anything else. They usually have the best hardware support.

          I agree, but in this case it's just a missing wifi firmware which you need to install manually. I bet he can get his wifi working.

          The whole problem at this point is that he messed up his system with some ugly vendor provided package. That's why he can't install anything else.

            I found that Mint has better, in most cases. Except for my RoG 😞

              Best to start over then. We kept warning him not to download things.

                    No way for us to know. You'll need to test a few and see.

                      Sony makes many laptops. Knowing that it is Sony wouldn't help us to know.

                          Well obvious none of those. You've picked only two different things.... RHEL and ubuntu. RHEL is a server distro and not applicable here. Ubuntu you've already tested and it doesn't work. How are you choosing these?

                          Try Mint, Fedora 25, OpenSuse Tumbleweed for example.

                            You need to try new things rather than copy after copy of the same thing.

                                  You already determined that you want to use XFCE, I thought. So go ahead and use that. I don't know what is causing your hangs, so I'm stuck guessing. But XFCE is the lightest and Cinnamon requires a GPU.

                                    Yes, that's a good place to start. The latest Mint with XFCE or Mate is your best bet. After that Fedora 25 is the next one to try.

                                        If those don't work, try TrueOS. It's not Linux but should meet your needs.

                                        https://www.trueos.org/

                                            Work in TrueOS? No, it's not Linux at all, let alone Debian. But I can't state this enough... you don't care about Deb files.

                                            Things you need to understand at this point:

                                            • Deb is a file format, it is not the same as Debian. Don't refer to Deb files as Debian files. Debian is an OS. Deb is a file format used by Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and others.
                                            • You don't care about file formats at all, I don't know why you keep asking about these, they are not important.
                                            • Just because something can use a Deb file doesn't mean it can use one that you have. Those packages can be unique to a distro and version. Just because something is a Deb doesn't make it useful to a system than can use Debs.
                                            • You don't just go around grabbing files, that is not how you are supposed to be using any major Linux. Use the repos and the individual files don't matter to you.
