what is the output after sudo create_ap wlan0 wlan0 laptop??

I meet such things before at [Ask for RTL8822CE AP and Station mixed mode](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/ask-for-rtl8822ce-ap-and-station-mixed-mode/100216/4)

I test RTL8822ce could work at mixed mode(ST+AP). Here is video

what is the output after sudo create_ap wlan0 wlan0 laptop??

sudo create_ap wlo1 wlo1 laptop --> ERROR: Your adapter can not be a station (i.e. be connected) and an AP at the same time And yes the hotspot works on windows for me but not on linux.
