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.

Weird WiFi connection problems that I can't explain (lemmy.zip)

I've been using Bazzite for a couple of months now. I've been experiencing a few problems when connecting my PC to my Wifi router.

I've been noticing a few websites being extremely slow, such as reddit. I've also noticed that Flatpak downloads are extremely slow, with speeds being in two digits of....kb/s! Now, I can mitigate this issue by doing either two things:

Using a VPN
Connecting my PC to my mobile hotspot, which is connected to my same router.

This is puzzling, because if there's an issue with my ISP, it would show up on my phone as well. If there's an issue with my built in WiFi adapter, then it would show up when connecting to my hotspot.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on, could someone help me? I tried changing DNS servers, reseting the network configs, flushing DNS cache, non of these seem to mitigate the issue.

One thing I've yet to try is connecting via Ethernet, because as of right now I don't have a good Ethernet cable with the right length, and I'm gonna order one day and try it.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I would appreciate it

Problem may come from incompatibility between your adapter (driver) and your router, packet size, MTU, windowing, etc. What is your adapter? what kernel version are you using? Try booting on a USB stick containing another distro like MX AHS and do a wifi speed test.

MSI B850 Gaming Plus Wifi

It looks like it is a qualcom chipset and should be supported but a quick google show some people have problem with it, you have the latest BIOS?

The problem is not with the Wifi speed per say, its with some website and services, like steam download speeds are as expecting, but browsing Reddit for example, or downloading flatpaks or github is super slow.
