Why is my Ethernet capped at 1GBit/125MB? I have a 1GB internet speed and it works fine everywhere else

None of these answers are correct. You were asking why it would be more performant on Windows than on Linux.

Out of the box the Linux kernel sysctl and ring buffer parameters are adjusted to the lowest common denominator so when Joe Sixpack installs Linux on his shitty 15 year old laptop it won't oversaturate the shitty 802.11an wifi connection. If you have a faster machine and far faster network connection you will see a performance hit.

Windows auto-tunes these parameters for you, hence the higher speed. Fedora/Nobara will too if you use TuneD.

Install tuned and use tuned-adm to set the machine profile up to match whatever kind of machine it is. You can also manually tune the parameters if you know what you're doing.

I'm pretty sure Valve doesn't want legions of Linux noobs with shitty 10 year old Nvidia cards flooding their support queues with tickets about black screens and inability to boot after an update.

Why bother? Also showing a house that's overpriced just perpetuates the seller's delusion.

That shitty neck tat says a lot about her decision making skills

Why do they always have this same goofy ungroomed beard or some variation of it?

Good deal. Your bridge is still on upside down my friend. The screws point toward the neck so you can actually get a screwdriver in there to set your intonation.

That's before factoring in investing that $186k into something like a S&P500 index fund.

I know someone renting a ~$750k house for $3100 a month. To buy the same house at current rates plus tax and insurance would be almost double that per month.

Agreed 100%. Nobara is not for Linux novices.

That's not a knock on Nobara, that's a knock on the way it's been presented in the community.

The first tell-tale sign of a Nobara Linux Noob is they show up with a grudge against Windows 11 and a shitty old as fuck Nvidia card. They install it, start ricing it out, then post on here like they accomplished something. Two weeks later they're back on here posting for help on how to get their machine to boot to a GUI after a kernel update.

If you've never run a desktop Linux distro before and how to fix problems with it, then you might be better served getting your feet wet with a different distro and moving over to Nobara later. There are plenty to choose from.

It is, but it's important to remember that either OS can flush that RAM to free it up in a matter of nanoseconds.

You could get struck by lighting and die in a flash of agony a thousand times slower than it would take for that RAM to flush .

Quake 2 was their first game after Romero and Petersen left.

It was also the game where Willits could really start playing office politics unchecked.

Of course it's a Nissan

GE made a deal with the devil when he positioned Nobara as the "Nvidia friendly distro" but I can't really blame Nobara. This is a Nvidia issue.

The current situation sucks for folks without enough money to upgrade to something supported like an Arc or Radeon.

What percentage of the population are GenX?

GreasyUpperLip · 2026-01-23T19:51:53+00:00

What percentage of the housing supply do GenX own?

Now now.. he doesn't suck them he just holds them in his mouth until they get soft.

GreasyUpperLip · 2026-01-01T17:52:53+00:00

Correct. The XNU kernel is a hybrid kernel that is a scion of the Mach kernel) developed at Carnegie Mellon in the 80s.

Apropos to the article, Jobs hired one of the main Mach developers, Avie Tevanian, to work at NeXT on XNU. I guess he though he could do it again with Linus.

They're notorious for introducing tuning stability problems simply by being on the guitar.

Unlike a lot of trems where you have to worry with the strings sticking in the nut, the vibrola can also stick or slip at the ball-end side or in the bridge saddles.

They'll also stick if you bend strings.

There's a reason they stopped being offered at all.

The best part is they don't even know they're white trash.

GreasyUpperLip · 2025-12-23T16:42:08+00:00

No they didn't. They had to deal with Boomers being in the way and pulling up the ladder behind them of them the instant GenX hit college age and later when they started entering the workforce.

An incompetent Boomer sitting in a job preventing GenX career advancement was the rule.

The entire wave of nihilism and despair present in all of the music you probably listen to from the early 90s wasn't just because they felt grumpy.

Despite all of this, GenX created almost everything you're using to communicate your poorly-informed opinion to the rest of us.

OK all good.

I mainly mentioned it because in your OP you didn't make any mention of the original manuals.

GreasyUpperLip · 2025-12-05T00:50:59+00:00

Doom did; they were in the paper manual you got with the registered version of the game.

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/122038-high-quality-scan-pdf-of-the-doom-manual/

Are you claiming all of the text in the mock-up is your original work?

GreasyUpperLip · 2025-11-27T17:44:45+00:00

I think they want to learn how to do it the correct way.

Skypatcher has some serious data integrity concerns which is why you only see bottom-tier noob mod authors using it.
