Hello everyone, I recently created a forum to choose the first Linux distribution to try. Most people suggested Arch Linux. I encountered some unusual problems—like errors saying "problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting" and "Network is unreachable"—and when using modprobe nothing appears. My ip link output showed something strange: "mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00". Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks ahead!

Consider alternatives like Ubuntu or Fedora instead of Arch Linux. Check the network card using lspci to see if any drivers are required.

Ethernet Controller model: Broadcom Limited NetLink BCM57788, Gigabit Ethernet via PCIe (revision 01). Originally a refurbished Dell build I assembled from parts.

This sounds exciting. I'm considering a Fedora or Ubuntu/Debian setup. Otherwise, you'll need to install kernel modules.

Choose Ubuntu Desktop or Server for Linux if you're starting out. It depends on your needs. I haven't used Arch before, but from what I've read, setting it up can be tricky.

Could you spare a moment to review the setup?

Yes, there is a method to determine your specific needs.

I've checked several methods, and running dhcpcd tends to function properly during a clean installation setup.

I've already tested dhcpcd without success. Apart from the details mentioned in the original message, I haven't explored any additional solutions to address the problem.

Sure, just start with the first step. Download Ubuntu from Here and adapt it for a Windows user following this manual to create a USB boot drive. The quick guide on Ubuntu Desktop is a helpful resource for learning more about Linux servers. For deeper Ubuntu topics, check out the list on Digital Ocean.
