Wifi adapter not found - Ubuntu 18.04 on Thinkpad E480 RTL8822BE

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 but wifi adapter doesn't work. It works on Windows (dual boot) and the Ethernet/wired connection works just no wifi and potentially Bluetooth.
I tried these lines:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential git dkms
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
cd rtl8821ce
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
sudo modprobe 8821ce
But I don't think that's the right driver, so I went onto https://github.com/samcv/A485-RTL8822BE-firmware and just got errors.
Does anyone know a simple fix I can use please? I'm kind of new to Linux. Any help will be much appreciated.

Be certain that Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS, otherwise no software modifications will have effect.

To get better info about that "UNCLAIMED" network controller, update your Ubuntu with the...
sudo update-pciids
...command, then repeat the...
sudo lshw -class network
...command. Your rig should then identify the RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter.
You might as well also do the...
sudo update-usbids
...command, for possibly updated info on your various USB devices.
I'm not familiar with Manjaro Linux, but I'd guess that boot boohoo is related to EFI-privilege or a lack thereof.
