I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a new laptop(Acer Aspire 7 R5 5500U, GTX 1650)

Installation was successful but it failed to detect Wi-Fi :(

Disabled secure-boot, no good

Output of sudo lshw -C network :

askubuntu recommended I run a script for all-in-one info for wireless(script provided at : https://askubuntu.com/a/425205/44179).

I've uploaded the txt on google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tm1CrgdgdqDoZ57D9RtALv-pDCc8l-8r/view?usp=sharing

All help will be appreciated, thanks in advance :D

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
