onlinepersona,

What’s up with these trans-memes surrounding linux? Are they just a loud minority?

onlinepersona,

How long ago was this?

Lemmy needs polls. The last time I had problems with WIFI drivers was… 15 years ago? On a laptop bought in a supermarket that originally came with Windows Vista. Oh, and the raspberry pi - fuck raspberry pis. They can’t pick wifi module worth shit.

onlinepersona,

I’m not faulting linux, I’m faulting the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Linux is their main operating system and they haven’t picked a good WIFI hardware module for years. Dunno if the new raspberrypi 4 is better, but I’m not paying to find out.

onlinepersona,

I had similar problems at the time. It’s much better now.

onlinepersona,

Thanks. I’m out of the loop.

onlinepersona,

I’ve had 3 raspberry pis (1,2,3) and none have had stable WiFi. After an hour or two it would drop and the logs would get spammed with some error that I can’t remember. Might be this issue wlan freezes in raspberry pi 3/PiZeroW (Not 3B+) . Similar issue Every two hours, like clockwork: “wpa_supplicant[313]: nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed”.

After that, I gave up on WiFi on Raspberries and used LAN, but they are so underpowered… my nextcloud instance took ages to do anything, XBMC (now Kodi) was slow and couldn’t render videos > 720p (it was struggling with 720p honestly), even a simple audio proxy over bluetooth (forward bluetooth audio from phone to speaker) barely functioned as the bluetooth cut out or it was janky as hell.

It’s easier to put a old phone as a server than a raspberrypi.

onlinepersona,

For new hardware, it’s no surprise when it doesn’t work out of the box as most drivers are written for windows first. That’s not a fault of linux.

onlinepersona,

Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I’ve never seen those.

Lucky you. Tried 4 different routers --> same issue.

I gave up on RasPis long ago.

onlinepersona,

That’s the only thing that worked for me too. The inbuilt WiFi is useless.

onlinepersona,

The hexagons do look nice. I wouldn’t mind having all of them though. They could rotate at every boot.
