This is a wierd question but I thinking of redoing linux dual boot. My wifi card is currently broken so I am connecting to the internet by using my phone as tether via USB. This works suprisingly well with windows. Can anyone speak to using tethering with Linux?
It is on the arch wiki and there is a good shot it works but I only have one laptop right now and I really don't want to run pure arch.
@Inextinguishable_Ravings@GuybrushFlowers@MrHandyMan@Mike_the_Cleric Besides but related to the question, if you want to get a USB Wi-Fi antenna that isn't your phone, it's important to look up beforehand whether it works on Linux. Lots aren't in the kernel and compiling your own driver modules isn't fun.
@timesandseasons I'll keep this in mind. Fairly sure I could fix this by buying a new Wifi card but thanks for the heads up. I hope to never spent more than 30 seconds gettting drivers
