Wireless card driver is driving me crazy!

Question

It's been a while since I got my laptop, after searching lots of solutions for the drivers of my Wireless card, none of them seem to be permanent and working properly. Sometimes it just makes my Network manager go crazy or doing something like completely ignoring installed drivers after a few days.

My kernel version: 4.15.0-50-generic

My hardware: Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device d723 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 8319

And I followed this thread Cannot see my wifi [10ec:d723] when trying Ubuntu that gave me a temporary solution.

I ended up deleting linux-headers and following the dkms instructions, but after this command:

sudo dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414

I get this errors:

ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for rtl8723de: 5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414 not found

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.0-50-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414/build/make.log for more information.

I'm hopeless, been trying to solve this for a long time without really caring, but now I need it and I have no idea what to do!

Thanks in advance for everyone kind enough to help me.

Here is the error:

Never delete your Linux headers. You won't be able to compile anything. — WinEunuuchs2Unix, Jun 06 '19 at 21:46

Wireless card driver is driving me crazy!
