Wifi doesn't work - I'm in a loop

Question

I just installed windows 10 and ubuntu on my computer and wifi isn't working. I read the post below:

WiFi isn't working in new installation of Ubuntu

I tried to use the given code in the post which is:

gksu gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

But it said that gksu is not installed. I tried to install gksu by the code that the terminal gave me but it said it couldn't find the package. I got the error in the following post:

I tried installing gksu but getting the following error.Someone help me to fix this

The solution in the given post wasn't helpful since I didn't have internet. I feel like I'm in a loop where I need an internet to fix this problem but I don't have any internet. Is there a simple solution to this problem?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

P.S : If it's any help my computer is ASUS TP300L.

You don't need gksu gedit simply to edit a configuration file - use sudo nano (both of which are installed by default) — steeldriver, Mar 19 '18 at 18:08
@steeldriver - Thank you for the feedback. Can you explain elaborate? Do you mean I need to write sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf instead of gksu gedit? And then what? Shoud I continue doing the given instructions in the post? — Charles Carmichael, Mar 19 '18 at 18:10
I don't know - and frankly, neither does anyone else since "wifi isn't working" could be the result of any number of things: IMHO you should start with My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue? — steeldriver, Mar 19 '18 at 18:14
@steeldriver - I will check the link that you have written here. But I think my problem is because I need to install the driver — Charles Carmichael, Mar 19 '18 at 18:42
