    if anyone good with linux mint(cinnamon) os would be able to give some input that would be great


    I can't connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless, and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that my drivers aren't installed. I can't really update them with the disks that came with the hardware because it runs on windows lol so its some kind of paradox that hurts my brain

    I have the GA-970A-UD3P motherboard and a tp link wdn4800 wireless card

    Maybe find the correct drivers online and download them onto a usb and update them? I'm not sure if that will work but I think I read that somewhere.
    I know @NESlover is really good with computers so he might be able to help.

    I don't think you need drivers for Linux unless you have a custom kernel
