Hello! I'm going nuts trying to get a WiFi connection for Linux Lite 3.8

I am a total newbie to Linux. Just sent XP out to pasture and wish to replace it with Linix.
Tried Zorin, Q4OS, and now LL 3.8.
Please understand, my previous experience with solving PC issues has been limited to Malwarebytes, CCleaner, and best of all, Restore Image via Macrium Reflect. These have all served me very well and I never ran into a problem I could not fix with these tools (including, but rarely, RUN Commands).
I am seeing a lot of wireless connection problems with Linux and in almost every case, involve Terminal command entries totally Greek to me.
I have a Nano USB Adapter TL-WN725N from TP-Link, and has always worked flawlessly in XP on ,my Dell Dimension 2400.
My internet service is with Comcast via their Gateway Modem.
My ethernet controller is a Broadcom Corp. BCM4401 100 Base-T (1404:4401) (Rev o21), Subsystem Dell Dimension 2400 [1028:8127]. Kernel Driver in use - b44.
Whether this info is relevant or not, I have no idea, but found it following 'Lspci -knn | grep -EiA2 net' command i saw for a fix for a similar problem with a laptop.
Linux Lite has not detected my adapter, nor does it appear anywhere in System Information information about your hardware.
This same problem also happened with Zorin. In Q4OS, the adapter was detected but would not connect to the internet despite excellent support help from the Q4OS team and several user/contributors.
Keeping in mind my neophyte level of experience with this problem and Linux in general, is there anyone here who can help?
Thank you reading this post. I am eager to find someone who can guide me to a solution.
Sincerely

Hi everyone,
I am a recent windows 10 refugee.  A while back the hard drive on my laptop crashed.  My knee jerk response was to go out and buy a new one.  I had been used to win7 and tolerated it (in a prefect world I wouldn’t own any computer).  I became so disgusted with win10 that I started researching alternatives.  My search led me to the concept of open source software, and Linux Lite specifically, which resonates with me much more than the prevalent consumerist mentality. It also inspired the confidence to go back to my old laptop and resurrect it with a new hard drive (1TB HDD).  I chose Linux Lite as my gateway distro. Everything went smooth and its more responsive than it ever was. So now I have 2 laptops. A couple days ago I decided to keep the new one and put Mint on it as the sole os.  I’m sure I will have many questions from here on out. I’m not a very technology savvy person (for me book, pen, and paper come first).  The terminal especially freaks me out. All that said, I’m happy to be here and hopefully I won’t try your  patience too much.

Thank You Linux Lite team! I may even start enjoying technology now!

After updating from v5.0.40, my windows xp virtual machine stops with an error dialogue during boot, and when I click 'OK', linuxLite locks up. Everything I can find about the error is on Intel based systems, but mine is AMD.

Buongiorno a tutti. Ho installato da poco Linux Lite e mi trovo bene con il mio pc portatile dalle risorse modeste. Vorrei cambiare il formato dell'ora in basso a destra nel pannello per utilizzare il formato 24 ore anzichè 12 ore, in modo che, ad esempio, la sera, anzichè indicarmi ore 8,30, visualizzi 20,30. Grazie

Bonjour,

J'apprécie la simplicité et la réussite des trois installations de Linux Lite 3.8 64 bits pour un novice qui découvre Linux...

Pour moi c'est vraiment "le jour où j'ai abandonné windows !" après avoir beaucoup lu au sujet des diverses disributions...

Je découvre vraiment tout... Et je le trouve formidable !

Après un vieux toshiba qui revit, un portable msi qui carbure, et un Dell optiflex 990 de récup qui ne s'y attendait pas !

Je donnerais bien un coup de main pour la traduction française mais comment faire ?

Cordialement.

My linuxlite desktop icons are not there after distro upgrade of Ubuntu. Only the wallpaper is there on screen and cursor moving.Right click also not working.
I can access terminal by  alt+Ctrl+F3 and terminal works fine.

8) ok i have a new Pc monitor , its a "LG 27MP38VQ‑B ‑ 27" IPS LED Monitor ‑ Full HD" . its really nice , no problem so far on linux lite 3.8.

but the the display say 22" , instead of 27" . so far this is not a problem visually, just wondering if i can fix it, do i need to download something ?, like a driver ?.
how can i get it to display it at 27" .

here is a screen shot, of my desktop. hope it show up.
thank you , hugs . if the image show up, please let me know, plus what image sites do you recommend if it does not, so i can edit this post , again , a big hugs and thank you.

Hi Linux Lite Followers,

as a relative novice to Linux in general and Linux Lite in particular forgive me if I seem to be asking naive questions.  I have spent most of my professional time on computers, mostly Windows-based, and have just turned to Linux since I have a little time to spare/kill, having retired recently.  I am married, have two children and four grand-children, and there are nine computers of different make, model and power in the house, plus a couple of smartphones.  I live in Germany.
So, this is the environment I am in.  I have some elderly hardware (has grown old with me ), and the more recent O/Ss are just too demanding for a Pentium-M, for instance.  Consequently I have looked around for a less consuming, yet applicable environment and found Linux Lite.  My 14-year old DELL Latitude D800 with 1.5 GB memory and a 60 GB HDD seems to be quite happy with it - even XP didn't run so smoothly.

Of course there are some snags I have run into, some I which I have been able to overcome, some are still there.  So I will post them as they arise.

Thanks for bearing with me  !
