Hello everyone.
I’m new to Fedora. For a number of reasons I want to install it on my personal laptop and replace Linux Mint. Before deleting my current system I installed Fedora 37 on an external hdd so I can see how it works with my hardware, and everything worked fine and out of the box except one thing - wifi.
The problem is every 5 minutes or so wifi stops working, in the GUI it looks like everything is ok but it doesn’t work until i turn wifi off and on, which immediately fixes it. I have a Realtek 8821CE wireless adapter, and installed GitHub - tomaspinho/rtl8821ce driver (before installing the driver it worked the same way). The weird thing is that on Linux Mint I had 0 issues with wifi, having an older kernel. Pls help me since I really want to use Fedora but this problem stops me from installing it.

That’s runtime configuration, but you likely also need persistent one:
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ce.conf << EOF > /dev/null
blacklist rtw88_8821ce
install rtw88_8821ce /bin/false
EOF
sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/rtl8821ce.conf << EOF > /dev/null
8821ce
EOF

Tysm. I did that and a reboot and now it works flawlessly. It looks like nothing stops me now from installing Fedora on my laptop
