yeah i know the title is kinda clickbait but hear me out i have an asus zenbook flip and  i wanna get into linux. Heres my issue 1. I have no experience with linux at all 2.My laptop is really getting along with anything.So I'm looking for alternative to kali linux as that is the only OS i can get to work properly on my laptop (eg debian wont recognise any of my keyboards,linux mint wont play nice with my network card) im also going to be dual booting windows.

you could try manjaro, as it generally has pretty wide hardware support. Can't really help without knowing details about your laptop though

that is a well supported card in linux... 

 

hmm. 

 

try just normal Ubuntu, the 19.10 release. Linux Mint is based on the 18.04 LTS release which is very old now, that could cause your wifi problems.
