Finally tired of the epically slow Windows 11 install on my Dell Latitude laptop so downloaded the latest Linux Mint (Cinnamon flavour), did the old f12-restart routine to change the boot sequence and ran live Mint from a USB drive.
Was just about to install Mint to the HD when I realised it hadn't detected my laptop's wireless adaptor, which is very unusual for Mint.
Bugger 🤬
