It is probable that you Wifi adapter requires some non-free driver and/or firmware. If it is what is on the disk, then you do not want to install it (unless you do not value your freedoms)! You can try to install the latest Linux-libre kernel and see if the adapter magically works: https://

All Intel CPUs have had Intel integrated GPUs with them for some time. If your laptop has an Intel Core i7 CPU, it specifically has an Intel HD GPU, and the Radeon GPU is a card. Funny enough, the card, which is an add-on, is inferior in the world of free/libre software to the integrated GPU.

Short version: Radeon GPUs are all terrible with free/libre software. You'll have to either get a somewhat old Nvidia card to replace it, or just deal with not having hardware acceleration; and remember, next time, to get something with Intel integrated graphics, which is the best choice. L
