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.

There is not even a "Help" or a "Read Me". There is not even a Doc on their official web page, if there was I cannot find it. Context: I am trying to transition from Windows to Linux. I am using Linux Mint in VM Ware before fully switching to it.

I have switched, now I just need to install the driver, which I am having a problem with. Consider this link here https://lemmy.ml/post/282846

yes, but why didn't you try what @[email protected] suggested in their top comment?

Just go to the WIFI-FE-2(Other Driver)/Linux Driver/DPA_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.3_20130313/ folder and type make. What happens?

And why did you create a second thread for this?
