Exactly what brand and model of USB wifi dongle is it?

A search shows that device ID 0bda:f179 is rtl8188fu. Try the driver at https://github.com/corneal64/Realtek-US ... er-Drivers

I followed the commands then reboot I could not find any wireless connection tried opening brave but crashed falkon crashed uninstalled the driver by the command in GitHub links and then reboot now whole MX can't load past sign in stuck here

Now I can login it loads desktop and then MX crashes in 2 to 3 minutes. What do I do now? Tried opening terminal but does not load gets freezed shows above image and crashes

Fyi when I installed driver from GitHub it showed in terminal that it saved a boot image initramfs in case of failure load old boot image is that something I can use to solve this?

New error after login and then crashes and shows this

After login screen freezed here cursor not even moving.check resource usage its unacceptable
What should I do now?

I have a MX live usb and I think the driver saved old boot image would it help from live usb?
