Hi everyone! I’m new to Fedora and Linux, and I’m doing my best to learn quickly. I only started about 2 weeks ago. I’ve been experimenting with different distros, and I’ve found that I really like Fedora. I particularly enjoy the KDE Plasma desktop. However, I’m having trouble connecting to my wired internet. WiFi works fine, which is strange. With every other version I’ve tried, I can connect to the internet using a wired connection, except with KDE Plasma. I’ve even tested it on other distros, and KDE Plasma seems to be the only one giving me issues. Windows doesn’t have any trouble connecting either.
I’m quite the noob, so please bear with me. I do have some general info that might help you help me.
If there are any other data you need, please ask. I’d really like to use KDE Plasma
