Kubuntu 22.10 Daily Use and Common Software Installation

After switching to Manjaro Linux for a few days, I couldn’t connect to the network, only showing local lo network connection. It seems that after upgrading the kernel and system, there was a problem with the network card driver. Switching back to Debian-based systems showed the same issue. Finally, I found that the network card driver on Ubuntu Launchpad Realtek 8852AE, 8852BE, and 8853CE WiFi drivers works perfectly.

My software selection principles: Channel preference: System software center (Discover) > Official website > Third-party websites Software preference: Cross-platform > Open source > Free > Cracked > Paid Version preference: Stable version

After Kubuntu 22.10 installation, first connect to the network using mobile hotspot (USB connection), then install the wireless network card driver, ThinkBook 16+ Linux Wireless Network Card Driver.
