And of course, if you check Reddit, there are at least 50+ posts ranging in time from 2014 - 2023 about this.
Everyone says to fix it, download DNSMASQ, and disable IPV6. Both of which don’t fix it for me, or pretty much anyone else having the issue since 2015.
just going to say this are you sure you haven’t checked updated and uninstalled drivers and also prehaps checked to see if its a hardware issue maybe worked your way through some troubleshooting guides maybe
I don’t really know how else to troubleshoot it. I’ve changed distros mulitple times, downloaded Steam from different repos/directly, and tried all of the "fixes’ posted online. My NIC isn’t the issue, since I am clearly getting 1887Mbps down in Firefox. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to try them.
Truth is, no one knows why it’s happening, or what the actual fix is, and they are pretending to withhold the fix until I apologise for saying Linux doesn’t just work like Windows does. None of these hateful Lemmy Linux users that are attacking me actually know how to fix it, but they can’t admit Linux can be hella janky.
Linux users constantly talk about how Linux just works and Windows is garbage, but then half these comments are talking about how you should buy an entirely different computer to make Linux run with FEWER issues.
Windows may have it’s problems, but I don’t need to buy an entirely new PC to make it work. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, doesn’t matter. It just works.
I agree that the pricing doesn’t make sense unless you can split it, which is what I do.
Premium is $25 in Canada. You can add 5 people to your plan. That makes it $5 per month for each of us.
Personally I don’t buy cable or satellite TV, so I get most of my enjoyment from YouTube. So to me $5 per month is nothing, especially if you have something like Spotify which you can cancel and use YouTube Music, which is included in that $5.
If you have no friends and you’re the only one footing the bill, I agree that the pricing is a lot. At that point you just have to deal with the annoying ads.
I hate ads as much as anyone, but my question still remains for anyone who demands on blocking all ads and refusing to pay for premium, how do you expect servers and creators to be paid?
I know Google can technically afford it, but that’s not how businesses are run. You can’t take profits from one department to make up for the losses in another department, and as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive, and Google hosts an unbelievable amount of data, and free, too.
Like I’ve mentioned in the past, I have a bunch of videos uploaded to YouTube to share with family, and they are all private. Therefore Google is paying to store my videos, while making $0 from them, as they are not public and making any ad revenue.
I also know that Google is bad. Corporations suck. All that jazz. I just don’t understand why most of Lemmy users think everything should be free, but when asked about how these things are supposed to get funded, they go silent.
Lemmy itself won’t be around long if users refuse to donate to their instance, and refuse to view ads. Even if someone is hosting an instance in their basement, the cost of internet, replacement drives, maintenance, and electricity all add up.
You’re getting upset over people hearing about someone adding an ingredient they don’t like into a globally recognized dish, and saying “ew”.
You’re acting like these people are protesting in the streets.
Have a little fun, my guy. People reacting to this saying “ew” is okay. I also personally think the idea of it is gross, and personally I won’t be trying it. Even if it turns out to be amazing, the texture is too much for me, and that’s okay.
I can spend hours doing work without any mandatory updates .
Weird way to say spend hours fixing something that just randomly borked your PC.
Seriously, though. Windows has a fuck ton of issues, but it seems like every distro I install I am eventually greeted with something just completely breaking for no reason whatsoever and spend the next 6 hours scouring Linux forums for a solution, where everyone is just hostile as fuck screaming at people to “figure it out yourself” and to “use Terminal”.
Glad it works for you, though. Wonder how many downvotes this cold take is going to net me lol.
