I have just install Ubuntu on my old laptop, the only use of the laptop was just browse the internet and some games. But I got on the internet using a Wi-fi USB Adapter and Ubuntu doesn't seem to know what to do with it. So is their a way or an program that solves this problem?

PROTIP: the Ubuntu help forums are famous for their helpfulness, and have 99% less trolling than /comp/.

Seriously, just give it up. Learning linux is a total waste of time. Out in the real world, nobody gives a shit about it. Linux is just one large troll joke on unsuspecting dorks. Ha-ha you turned your modern computer into a PDP-11. You wasted months to do what would have taken hours on Windows. Your brain is now full of useless unix trivia. You could have used that time doing something that may have actually benefited you socially or financially. YHBT. YHL. HAND.
I call bullshit on you. In za waurdo we use linux/unix to make the Interwwb go.

Seriously, just give it up. Learning Windows is a total waste of time. Out in the real world, nobody gives a shit about it. Windows is just one man's (Bill Gates) attempt to turn the computer into the next television and game console. Ha-ha you turned your modern computer into a gaming box. You wasted $2000-$2500 to do what would have taken $400 on a console. Your brain is now full of useless masturbatory MMORPGs. You could have used that time doing something that may have actually benefited you socially or financially...

I keep hearing this shit every fucking year:
THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!
Uh huh. I hear that EVERY year. Has it ever been true? No.
Look, your OS is only as good as the apps you can run on it, and how well they run. Frankly, quite a few FOSS apps fucking suck. Surely there are some great ones, but these are the exception, not the rule. You know why GIMP is free? Because it sucks goat-nuts in every way imaginable. Know why Photoshop is $600? Because it's a fucking amazing piece of software, and easy to use.
Call me back when Ubuntu will recognize my wireless adapter and doesn't require mucking around in xorg.conf just to get a decent rez.
your OS is only as good as the services it can provide
windows provides a good gui service and so is only good for games

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Uh huh. I hear that EVERY year. Has it ever been true? No.
And Microsoft always tells me that using Windows is much more efficient then using any other OS. Has this ever been true? No.
If you compare Windows XP's GUI with the Workbench of the Amiga 500, the only difference is, that Windows has a higher resolution and more colors.

That'll be great! By that time I'll be closer to retire, and I'll have extra jobs to make the last buck. We should introduce Y2K like things every 10 years with any stupid excuse.
