It should not. Some phones don’t play well with private DNS though, mostly entry level ones that thrives on spying.

Maybe the wifi card your laptop is too old for new gen wifi routers (n, ac, ad, ax, 6E). I’ve seen that with old Dell laptops.

Dopamine 3 is the closest to AIMP as far I know. I also use it on Windows.

Install a windows first just to launch the Dell Command Update app (you’ll have to download it from the Dell website) and use it to update the BIOS and Intel firmwares.

These laptops even run badly on win10 until you update everything.

Then install your chosen distro. I bet there will be fewer problems then.
