Note - I'm not really experienced with linux so sorry if I get anything wrong.

I've set up my computer to dual boot, I have windows 10 installed on an SSD and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a HDD (I've installed it with a pendrive). When I booted into Ubuntu I went to settings -> Wi-Fi to try to enable the Wi-Fi but got a message saying "No Wi-Fi adapter found", so I went to ASUS's website to get the necessary drivers (I'm using the Wi-Fi card provided by my motherboard) but noticed that there's are no drivers avaible for "Other OS".

enter image description here

So now I'm wondering how do I go on about installing the necessary drivers to be able to use Wi-Fi?

I'm using Ubuntu Desktop, I've followed step 2 on the link you posted and then went to help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide/… (as the guide says), but I'm "failing" at step 3.2 (run the command sudo iwconfig), the output says "no wireless extensions", any ideas on where to go from here?

    It's helpful if you're specific with details; you mention Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but not if Desktop or Server (they have different kernel defaults). Either way drivers for Linux are actually kernel modules (thus kernel stack matters!) and are built for a chipset (not make/model of board) so I'd suggest following the appropriate documentation for your unstated 22.04 product, eg. help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide/…

    This isn't a forum, but a Q&A site. Please add additional details to your question (eg. Desktop should be added to your question, plus any pastes that may reveal detail useful information such as brand/model of chips to your question), not reply via comments which are intended for readers to the OP/Original Poster & get deleted once addressed in the question itself. eg. detail needed is what's on your motherboard, eg. Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 or other, as chips can vary if boards sell well & remain in production for >3 months.

Thanks for the users who tried to help me and apologies for not providing enough details, I was using my phone (because I had Ubuntu on my computer with no internet access) so copy-pasting the output of certain commands wasn't gonna be easy, here's how I ended up fixing the issue.

  1. Connected an ethernet cable to my computer, Ubuntu recognized it immediately so I didn't have to do anything else to get access to the internet.
  2. Installed build-essential (sudo apt install build-essential).
  3. Installed git (sudo apt install git).
  4. Run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.
  5. Found out my wi-fi chispet (more info here).
    1. Installled hardinfo (System Profiler and Benchmark) from Ubuntu Software.
    2. Found my network card under Devices -> PCI and got the chipset name from there.
  6. Followed the steps detailed in this answer (because the OP of that post was also looking to install drivers for the same chipset as I was, don't go there blindly).
