I have an HP EliteBook 845 G8 laptop and recently installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on it (Windows was previously installed). After installing Ubuntu I can connect to the Internet via Ethernet without any problem, but the laptop doesn't detect Wifi at all (no Wifi tab in Settings).

I can't add Additional Drivers even when I'm connected to the Internet:

Software & Updates: Additional Drivers

Software & Updates: Ubuntu Software - Downloadable from the Internet

More info (in the link the result of the terminal command):

I'm a newbie when it comes to using Ubuntu, but if you need any additional information to solve this problem I'll be glad to post it:)

You could try Ubuntu 21.10 as it has better support for more recent hardware. Or something like Manjaro.

The first 2 screen shots add noting to the question and are just a pain to look at. The 3 rd one is text and text needs to be in the question not as a pic. I did not look at the links past the 3 rd one.

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.
