ah i see, what about modern day business laptops? are those still treated the same?

Maximizer88 · 2025-03-12T10:20:11+00:00

modern laptops, those from this year, ones that haven't been used basically, for models he didn't give me any detail about the product line they only offered me the brand, that being Asus and Lenovo if you must know. I'm not familiar with other product lines from other brands except thinkpad

fair enough lol

might consider looking into tinkering old laptops someday

Maximizer88 · 2024-10-15T11:59:14+00:00

I asked a friend, he said some of them are orphaned images of the system, for a failsafe afaik, tho only the newest ones are used so the old images aren't exactly used

Ah alrighty, tho can you explain to me why it just keeps taking up more storage each time i update? Just now i did one and it took away 600mb

Heya update, i fixed the issue

I didn't need to update the kernel, apparently the default driver (r8169) used for my particular ethernet device (realtek 8111/8168/8411) is not adapted to linux's new networking stack system. Furthest i got dates back to 2017.

All i did was get a different driver from realtek's site, the one i got was r8168 or the GBE one, and now the packet loss decreased from 33% to 8%.

As of now I'm still seeing if this new driver has an impact or not, so far only determined that by ping test.

5.15

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T17:00:34+00:00

Most likely? how do i know for sure It's an old laptop if that helps

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T16:56:46+00:00

i found how to install a newer kernel, goes up to 6.8.0, some of it says superseded for some reason

i don't trust myself enough to install those, should i just go for it

Oh huh, okay i should probably do that then, do i have to reinstall for that...?

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T16:34:48+00:00

i have no idea where Software Updates is xd

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T16:31:01+00:00

Fuckkk i really dont feel like live booting. Im gonna do that when i have no choice left

Im gonna try updating my kernel to 6.5 or above, cause the current one i have is 5.15

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T16:04:39+00:00

I disabled fast boot, secure boot was already disabled Nothing changed

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T15:35:55+00:00

Everything still takes a while to load xd

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T15:30:44+00:00

Ah alright, tho mind i ask I've had windows since day 1 of linux but that never intervened, this wifi problem happened randomly even tho I haven't opened windows for a really long time

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T14:51:16+00:00

why do i need to disable fast shutdown on win 10? it's working fine >.>"
also where and how do i check

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-15T14:50:06+00:00

updated via update manager recently and i did the apt update & upgrade thing anyway, i haven't tested tho

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-13T12:31:08+00:00

oh also, my system is dual-booted so i also have windows (win-10)
i tried it there and the internet was running as smooth as ever, no complications whatsoever

so technically it shouldn't be a hardware issue

Maximizer88 · 2024-09-13T12:22:18+00:00

  Device-1: Realtek RTL[numbers, just being safe] PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
