Is this box compatible with Linux? anyone!Network hardware is sometimes newer than what Debian has support for in the installer. I had this issue a few years ago, probably with Debian 10 or 11. Workaround was just plugging in my phone (some people call this USB tethering) to get online and update the system.
I didn't think of using my cell phone's wifi (or there was a reason that was unacceptable), so my solution was buying an aftermarket ethernet card. I got one of these:
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 06:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
It has two ports, on the off chance one of them dies but the other doesn't.
