No matter what i do (it even detects the system as Ubuntu 20.04) the build will always fail. may i have help?

Neat, first I've heard of PearOS. Your distro might have custom kernel patches which break this build. That's especially common with Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives. Unfortunately I don't have any bandwidth to setup PearOS and work on that right now.

Your best bet is probably to go through the "Manual Installation" steps: https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver#manual-installation

When you get to where you select your branch, try a few different ones. if ubuntu-20.04 doesn't work, you can try the generic-5.${m}.x branch that corresponds to your kernel version (check with uname -a). I would guess it's generic-5.3.x but you definitely want to verify.

If you get specific build failures, you can comment here with:

  1. Output of uname -a on your machine
  2. Which branch you tried to build
  3. The output from make where the failure occurs. Best to include a dozen or so lines prior as well since the last line is not always the most useful line.

I or someone else may be able to give you more pointers at that point. Good luck!
