wifi bugs

does your laptop has a wifi on/off switch?
the wifi drivers are installed automatically 99% of the time but maybe connect with an ethernet cable to download them manually to make sure

because true compatibility on all hardware is still a goal for linux which is way in the distance. Hit and miss.

Wi-fi support on 16.04 is not "buggy", it plain and simple isn't included in the distro. Either plug ethernet cable and update to 16.10 or pick completely different system.

And don't let ubuntu amateurism discourage you from linux at large. Most other distribution have wifi working right off the box.

Found your issue. None of these distros have ever had good wireless support.

Had this problem. Literally just find out where your whitelist is for hardware and add a line allowing your WiFi card to be used and then done.

Vague as shit descriptions because I don't know what I was doing someone else told me, and I can't remember exactly how I did it

It is a bug that affects broadcomm and realtek devices.

Just shut down and restart your PC, Ubuntu will detect wireless. The problem is actually in the Linux kernel as it was present in all distros that I tried.
