This one ended in tragedy, I'm afraid.
The first Debian Live disk found my wifi adapter and connected to it, but neither of the two Debian installations, nor the second Debian Live disk, nor Ubuntu was able to find it after that.
Now, I had been having issues with the adapter on Stretch. It would occasionally disconnect, and I'd have to restart either the driver or the OS to make it work again. But at least it worked.
Something else annoyed me about the unofficial Buster distro, the one with the firmware. The ubiquitous terminal was conspicuously absent. I actually had to search for "terminal" in the start menu, which found four, none of which were the cool default terminal in Stretch.
Really, man?
Do you mean to stand there pimpin' a shiny new Linux distro and tell me a decent terminal don't come with it?
Also, a lot of Linux commands that I needed to troubleshoot the wifi adapter, such as ifconfig, were missing.
From Debian.
