From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

(RESOLVED) Network is slow after installing Fedora (lemmy.world)

For context, I just installed Fedora Workstation and I am dual-booting alongside Windows.

For some strange reason, download speeds are hovering around 200 KB/s, and sometimes randomly dropping to below 70KB/s. This occurs when I boot into either Windows or Fedora. Before installing Fedora, my speeds were usually >50MB/s, sometimes a couple hundred MB/s if the network isn’t very busy. This might be an issue with network drivers being weird since I’m dual booting, or maybe I need to manually install drivers for Fedora.

(for comparison my phone, using the same network, has >100MB/s download speeds)

EDIT: I’ve updated to Fedora 42 and network speeds are now in the MB/s again. Not sure what happened. Now it seems that when I install from “flatpak-1” rather than just “flatpak” speeds are great. Also, dnf install has good speeds now.

what network card are you using? are you downloading from the same websites that you get faster download speeds from on windows?

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just generally installing things like blender, inkscape, etc. normally takes around a minute on Windows (before dual booting) but is estimated like over 2 hours on both Fedora and Windows (after dual booting) since speeds are sub 100KB/s…

try using any other device on the same network. could also be a network issue if windows and linux are having issues. run a network speed test on your phone and laptop.

Yeah, my phone’s download speeds are fine (>100MB/s)

I’m using a laptop, so I would guess probably a built-in Intel one.

run lspci and see which wireless adapter you have

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

my network controller is “Intel Corporation Raptor Lake PCH CNVi WiFi” (after running “lspci”, there doesn’t seem to be any other network-related ones besides that)

all intel drivers should be in the kernel, do you have the iwlwifi package installed?

pretty werd because dual booting shouldn't influence download speeds
