My Linux freezes when wifi connects and I can't do anything

This happened not only in this distribution, but also in distributions such as ubuntu, mint. I don’t know what to do. Please tell me the solution. But please know that I can’t access the internet.

Network adapter: Realtek 8821CE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC

My laptop: Asus X540U

Welcome to the community @man37282 :wave: :sunglasses: :enos_flag:

Can you share some details please. This will output some system specs:

inxi -SMnz

Then, before connecting WiFi, open up two terminal windows, and run these commands to watch the logs in real-time.

dmesg -w
journalctl -f 

Then, connect to WiFi and note what the logs have captured. Hopefully, it hasn’t frozen to the extent that nothing is visible there.

If it has fully frozen and a reboot is necessary, immediately after the reboot run this command to grab the last 50 lines from the last sessions log:

journalctl -b -1 | tail -n 50

I did what you said. I’m freezing and I waited connected to the internet. But it didn’t freeze! I think the problem solved itself. Thank you very much my brother.
