I have an Acer dual-boot laptop and internet was working perfectly fine, till today. I was busy programming and wanted to look something up, but the sites wouldn't load. It says I'm connected, but it still wouldn't work. The same internet is working on all other devices. I've tried everything to get it working again. I spent hours looking for answers on forums. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!
Some information that might help you understand my problem:

terminal command, just in case it's something related to the specific device and some update. That said I'm more inclined to an hardware failure at this point. – Oct 01 '17 at 09:10
