S8+ won't tether ethernet since pie update to linux

I'm new to this community so bear with me. The Pie update broke my phones ability to tether an internet feed to a PC or laptop runing Linux (ubuntu version). It worked fine before the update. The phone will put out a feed to a windows laptop. Anyone out there a linux hack and worked thru this?

Seanmx57, thank you for reaching out to us about this. You can establish a wireless hotspot connection using your device to your computer. However, you would not be able to run a harwired ethernet connection with your phone to your computer. EdgarT_VZW

I was able to USB tether before the pie update with no problems. I am able to tether other verizon phones in the house hold currently that run android OS. I prefer to not run hotspot.

Just to clarify, you're unable to connect your phone to your laptop or PC in order to transfer files, correct? TaylorH_VZW

I can tether to transfer files like pics etc. Can't get the internet feed to tether since the pie update.
