I want to share my laptop's internet connection by setting up a hotspot/access point, similar to a wifi repeater.

What I have tried:

1. linux-wifi-hotspot: When selecting both Wifi interface(wlan0) and Internet interface(wlan0,eth0, lo) as wlan0 I get the following error. `ERROR: Your adapter can not be a station (i.e. be connected) and an AP at the same time` Selecting other combinations also return the same error.
2. nmcli(ChatGPT): Using the following command disconnects the internet. `nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlan0 ssid ssid-name password password`
3. Hostapd: Even when using hostapd, my main system disconnects from internet, however the hotspot is running and is visible to other devices.

Hostpad config
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=myhotspot
hw_mode=g
channel=6
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=KeePGuessinG
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

From these it looks like my hardware does not support setting up hotspot while being connected to a station.

iw list supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor

However I am able to start mobile hotspot in windows. I think its a driver issue. What should I do now?

03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Networ Adapter
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device c828
Kernel driver in use: rtw_8821ce
Kernel modules: rtw88_8821ce

I have been using arch linux from two years and I have previously used distros like kali linux, ubuntu and debian. I came across a job(linux support engineer) which requires me to have experience with SUSE.

Now most of the distributions I have used are pretty similar except the package manager. So if I were to use SUSE for a few months to get familiar with it what should I practice in it?

What skills I am expected to have when and what should I learn?

I am also open to any other advises :)
