6 years ago, I was using a USB wifi adapter with my desktop (my friends next door paid for internet and we paid them half the bill to share).

I had picked this wifi adapter specifically because it had linux support, even though I used windows (I had an inkling I'd switch). So, I tried to switch but upon boot I couldn't wifi because the adapters module wasn't bundled by my distro so I had to instal 'dkms', but I couldn't do that without an internet connection...

So yeah, it can still bite you.

    lol, could you realize your story would be the same if you just replaced relevant software names?
