omg im so dumb TT im sorry was gen in such a state i thought u were talking about steam

but ye i kindaaa tried removing it by using sudoapt remove on all the commands that installed something yesterday but that def failed and see as i said i was in a bit ofa severely impulsive mood yesterday so i followed the beggining of a few videos and random comments i can get the videos in my watch history and see if i can get any commands from my terminal

Debugging issues requires a careful and methodical approach to things. I don't know what your issue actually is at this point. At different times in this forum post, you have told us that

  1. Images inside of discord are flashing
  2. The prism launcher won't start, claiming something about drivers
  3. Wifi connection issues
  4. A screenshot of your package repositories being broken
  5. You apt purge-ed your entire desktop
  6. Actually the GPU is fine
  7. Now the wifi isnt' working

I don't know what your actual issue is.

im gen so sorry this has been hard but as far as i can tell and looked at my wifi is just straight fucked idk how it might be conflicting drivers thanks to kde but i genuinely dont know how to further trouble shoot it

#

the only real comfirmed issue with absolute certainty is that i am unable to detect any wireless networks

#

genuinely not my intention to be confusing or misleading im so sorry

#

i was prob just confused about the gpu thing and panicking im sorry i think prism just needed updating and i didnt realize
