Using CLI to set it up isn't that hard if you know what buttons to press 😵

CLI is great for standard operations where you know the code by heart, but for installing hardware you install them only once or twice at most. So a GUI is much better for this, in my opinion. At least for home users.

I agree. I was just jesting. CLI is a pain in the bottom.

The fn plus f8 wireless comand just don't work. 🙁 I doubt Toshiba computers are even compactible with ubuntu. I got my notebook with absolutely no drivers or any software. And I can not find thing analogous to control panel in windows. It's a pity.
