E: I AM NOT USING FEDORA. Please stop linking to guides for Fedora. They will not work. uBlue/Bazzite does not use dnf.


I got a free iMac. Installed Linux on an external drive. Bazzite, specifically. WiFi does not work. My research leads me to a problem with proprietary Broadcom drivers but no solutions. If you know how to get this working, your advice would be appreciated.

Also if there’s another distro that works “out of the box” on Macs with GNOME I’d be open to installing that as well.

E: “System information” says it is a

Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.77.111.1 AirPortDriverBrcmNIC-1772.1)

      Opposite problem. Some wireless cards have unstable low power modes that get turned on anyway.

        Interesting, thanks for that perspective.
