Yes all wifi cards have native drivers in Linux. You can connect your laptop to a wired network and try to update Mint or you can try an external USB WIFI key

Hello
I tried every single step carefully. Saw the video several times. Linux mint install in USB. But if I start the PC again with the USB everything is new again. Meaning every time I start Linux I have to connect wifi again, the setting I did despair.
So, it doesn't work for me, sorry.

how to get rid of the keystrokes at reboot so it works like a normal drive?

[jurasjuro]

Thank you so much! You helped me a lot!

If I update softwares in mint live and persistent, it breaks the usb system and it never boots again unless I redo the all process over

[marcpanther]

Does this installation use proper graphics drivers, or does it do software rendering like what Live USBs would normally do?
