    Wi-fi dropping on kubuntu

    Hi. I'm new to linux. hope can get help here.


    I have installed kubuntu 24.04 on my hp pavilion, liking it so far, but there is an issue with the wifi. it works for as long as what I'm doing requires connection (reddit, youtube, downloading smth, etc.), but when it doesn't, even for a brief moment, it just stops working and I have to turn wifi off and back on (have been doing it every minute, literally. It's very irritating). i have tried turning power management off, didn't work.


    i ran `sudo lshw -C network` and `iwconfig` (if thats helpful, idk, im noob)

    i read that the realtek card is poorly compatible with linux or smth, and i should change the driver, but i couldnt find any specific instructions for my case (or didnt understand what i read).

    I have used zorin os for about half a year before that (without going into terminal and stuff, just using), but after realizing some things didn't work right decided to look for a better distro.



    Please help, im really looking forward to using kubuntu (if not, some other linux distro). if u need any info from my side, or need me to run any commands in terminal, do write. thanks in advance.
