Same here; I'm glad I'm left that wannabe facist hell hole and for the same reasons

Depending on where you live; people who seriously called themselves Romans lasted to until the 1960's
I was bitter so I moved to a liberal city in an liberal state and now politics is interesting again. Lol
it takes billions of dollar and nearly decades to build fabs; which are the only places chips can be produced; that's why western hegemonic forces like the american gov't or the international monetary fund will only help build very few, to ensure that there's no viable competition but enough extra capacity in cases it's ever needed.
until it suffers a catastrophic accident that's totally going to happen and then china will have to play catchup for at least ten years to reach the level that they're at now where, by then, they'll be far behind. lol
Into the grave next to the Cosby show; I'm no longer certain that living in an age rapid information exchange is a good thing. Lol
that's because rupert murdoch doesn't speak spanish and is too racist to ever learn it. lol
Fuck the tankies over at Hexbear Yes please. Lol
make periodic backups of your gmail account content on your own computer(s) and setup auto responder on gmail to use a new email address; easy peasy
i use the same case for my own wifi ap/internet router & firewall/nas; it doesn't work will with pata drives if you have too many sata like me.
this sounds more like network problem than a linux one; but since you're using linux w/o an internet connection, you'll have to use the tools that usually come with Linux:
get a sense of your computer's situation some of these commands will give you the same information and i write them here because i don't know what tools mint provides with its image:
start with basic information. see if your computer has an ip address and who its primary gateway(s) is/are:
ip a
ifconfig -a
netstat -rn
route -n
then use that information to start troubleshooting; these commands are a shortcut; duplicate information; and should be run in order:
for i in $(netstat -rn | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{print $2}') ; do ping -c 3 -W 1 $i ; done
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then cat /etc/resolv.conf ; traceroute google.com ; fi
this command provides duplicate information but provided here in case mint has really weird packages on it
for i in $(route -n | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{print $2}') ; do ping -c 3 -W 1 $i ; done
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then cat /etc/resolv.conf ; traceroute google.com ; fi
if neither of the last 2 stanzas worked, then your computer doesn't think it's connected to a network and the source of your problem is somewhere with either the hardware, driver or mint.
use lspci to find out if a module (aka driver) is running and google the pci id's if there isn't one. the man page or google can show you how to do this.
alternatively, you could use dmesg to show you what happens (if anything) when you plug/unplug your device. if nothing happens then you'll still need to google your device's pci id's. to see if there's a module for it.
