Hello! I just got linux mint (switched from windows) and I'm really struggling. My laptop is ridiculously glitchy and Mozilla fox will not load any website. I tried to go onto YouTube and Google and it says "server not found". I didn't have this issue with windows, and I'm not sure what I should do about this.

Hi! So I'm not sure what you mean by specs (I'm not computer savvy at all) but the computer was connected to the internet before hand. I have a photo of something if it helps

Your computer is totally able to run mint flawlessly given that... normally

If I were you I would try to reinstall it
And if that doesn't work, maybe ask someone if updating the kernel is a good idea (I won't tip you to do that for idk what I'm doing when messing with the kernels)

In the meantime, are you able to connect your computer to the internet via wired connection?
