I just installed Arch Linux on my desktop. It seems like everything is working properly but I noticed when installing packages it was taking far longer than my laptop. I thought maybe it was a drive issue but copying files was very fast on the nvme drives. After running some speed tests my download speeds are absolute crap. Ookla shows my Down at like 10mbps, Google's test shows around 100mbps down, and Fast.com hovers around 40-50mbps. The upload was the opposite. Ookla shows 900+mbps up, Google was around 600.

It seems like I'm not the only one with this issue but I've found no resolution. Network Manager is showing I'm connected at 1Gigabit speed. I tried installing the 8125-dkms driver, ensured the other 8169 driver is blacklisted, disabled EEE and ensured that's disabled. Reboot with zero success at improving my download speed. My phone shows 600mbps down.

I don't want to buy a new ethernet card just to resolve something that should work. In Windows 11 my speeds are awesome so it's not faulty hardware. Any thoughts on what else I can try? I have a static IP set and set my DNS to 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 as well. IPV6 is also disabled.

I’ll preface this with while I’m newer to Linux, I’ve been in IT for years since Windows Server 2000 days. I haven’t used Linux personally since like Ubuntu 11 or 12 and even then it wasn’t for that long.

I installed Arch on my 2021 ASUS G15 laptop to tinker with since I mainly use it for work reports, emails, and light gaming. I got the few games I had on it before working fine.

My main desktop though is another thing. I do heavier gaming on it, some Adobe stuff, VMs with VMWare and 86Box. I’ve debated switching but I’m not sure if I should stick with Arch or go with Ubuntu. Arch is a rolling release while Ubuntu does more separated releases. When new releases of either come out, is it fairly simple to update them? I know Adobe is a bitch to get working (Does GenP even work on Linux?) but I can work around that with other software. I did have an issue with 86box on my laptop where it was working great but after a reboot suddenly no matter the mouse is stuck on the right side of the window and absolutely will not move. Not sure if that’s an Arch thing or not.

Anyways, just looking for some advice on which distro to use.

AMD 7900X
Nvidia 4080

Y2JB Autoloader Success Rate on 12.00?

I’m on my now 6th attempt at jailbreaking following Modded Warefares up to 12.70 guide. I followed his guide exactly and it never jailbreaks. YouTube runs, does its thing, and 50 minutes later I always get a frozen black screen. Is it supposed to fail this much? If so I guess I’ll wait for a more successful jailbreak. I have a BR burner that I burned the ISO to so that I can patch the drive and jailbreak faster but I’m getting absolutely nowhere so far.
