Hi Everyone,
I am new to linux, however I always wanted to have a dual boot windows/linux computer, so I finally got myself one. The parts are listed here https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/GGcmvn. I updated the BIOS on that beast of motherboard (I am planning on some major upgrades down the line).
The parts arrived and I assemple it, boot the bios and everything was present, so I felt a huge relieve. I tried to install windows and linux, however I had the blue screen of death after the first instalation section of windows, which I though was odd. So instead I started with Linux.
It crashed as soon as I log in (I asked for it to install third party propietary software). After that I install without that option and It work like a charm.
However the wifi card was not recognized (Intel® Wireless-AC 9260 card ) but the bluetooth works perfectly. I downloaded the linux firmware from intel and I moved it to the /lib/firmware folder separately and also as individual files and nothing worked.
I also updated all linux packages and everyone and nothing has work.
I am truly lost, any help will be great, also I am a complete linux novice
EDIT
Thank MisteryAngel, I installed Ubuntu. I also updated all the packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
