From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Every time i installed an ubuntu distro , wifi dont appear to me and i need to install drivers via a github repo.

I remember people advice to me to do this - https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=435576

and that really solve my problem. However, more im getting into linux, people says to me to be carefully about what i put on terminal.

Being said that, anyone know if this is bad, to do this? Since is the only way i get to putting my wifi working, i would like if this can be danger, since i really dont understand nothing about linux and i am new in this journey.
