I had this issue for ages with Linux. Something about power saving kills the wifi connection. Fedora finally fixed whatever it is. Try booting off a fedora USB and seeing if it goes away.
It does tend to lose connection after it goes to sleep so that could be part of it. I'll try Fedora if I'm still having problems as well because I'm running it on my laptop and really like it.
This laptop is so old windows stopped supporting the wifi drivers years ago. I'm lucky it can connect to the internet at all
Yep, the laptop (actually more like a tablet PC with detachable keyboard) I had issues with is a 2015 vintage HP thing with only 2gb RAM. I used the xfce spin.
It's no speed demon, but it's ok for simple stuff.
