Linux (fedora) internet troubles 

So my internet is *not* in fact working. I deleted the old wired internet preferences but network won't let me add the new modem. When I run /sbin/ifconfig it still brings up the old modem settings first, so apparently my delete didn't do anything.

I'm wondering if:
A. I should download a different version of Linux that has more support
B. Say fuck it and get windows 10 (which I might still be able to get for free through UC Davis)
C. Cry

Any suggestions?

Sorry, I guess I was looking less for specific help than I was for general guidance. I want to know if I should try sticking with this version of Linux or giving up and installing an OS that's easier for me to use.

A. Okay, that's good to know.

B. I don't think I'll need to, but I will definitely let you know if I get there.

C. Thank you. I'm just frustrated, and don't have the spoons to properly address the problem right now. I will try more trouble shooting later, because I suspect there's a simple solution and I'm just too impatient to find it right now. If I still need help I will contact with you and provide more specific information.

Thanks Tavvy. <3
