How do you connect to wifi on a Linux system?
To connect to WiFi on a Linux system, you can follow these steps:
- Open the terminal (search for terminal in the menu or use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T).
- Scan available WiFi networks by entering the following command:
- List available Wi-Fi networks
- This will list nearby WiFi networks and their detailed information.
- Find the name of the WiFi network you want to connect to (also known as the SSID) and its security type.
- Please input the following command to connect to the WiFi network:
- Connect to a wifi network using the specified SSID and password with nmcli command.
- Replace

Please note that the above steps assume you are using Network Manager. Most common Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) by default use Network Manager for network connections. If you are using a different network management tool, please refer to its documentation to connect to a WiFi network.
