Wi-Fi refusing to connect

questionbug
So I'm new to Bazzite but not a first time Linux user, I never had problems with past Linux installations and such. The problem here was that, while on other Distros i had no problems with Wi-Fi connections, on Bazzite it absolutely refused to work. It would connect for a few seconds then disconnect itself and give me some kind of error message (photo attached below). I'm running the desktop mode of Bazzite on an older Acer laptop from around 2014. The specs are actually good with a 4th generation i7 CPU, integrated Intel graphics and a 4th generation AMD R7 dedicated GPU, everything else works really well and the installation went with absolutely no problem. I tried googling the problem and I understood it might be because of windows fast booting but I had that disabled as I tried out other Distros before Bazzite yet I never had this problem (some additional info here, I'm running it on dual booting for now, Windows is running on the old HDD while Bazzite was installed on the new SSD I got for the laptop specifically to run an OS to make it run a lil faster. The laptop isn't brand new or refurbished, I got it as a hand me down from my mom but it has absolutely no issue outside of being slow due to running windows on an HDD. I'm curious if anyone in the community has an idea on what is wrong and how to help, anything is appreciated)
