  1. How to share internet to other devices through wifi:

    I'll suggest you the method that worked for me and my friends.
    install kde-nm-connection manager. details on how to install & setup
    This should work. If not do as follows:

    • disable the wifi driver from "Additional Drivers" in System Settings (skip to last step if there are no wifi drivers shown already)
    • restart you computer
    • now we will be installing a non-free firmware wifi driver. copy paste this command and restart you computer: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree After installing this you can try to setup the hotspot again.
