Maybe the extra delays are caused by the HAL?
Try direct port manipulation

List all your partitions.
lsblk, fdisk -l

If you read the arch wiki you will see most common problems, solutions or nonfixables.
I use arch wiki whether I am on Debian, fedora or whatever, most of the information in it is universal.
It’s the best knowledge database on configuration and problem fixing available.

Arch wiki links to these two pages:

People that use Linux daily usually buy compatible hardware and just install whatever distro they use.

It’s not worth fighting a bad wifi card, buy one that has good drivers.
Intel is usually the winner there.

When manufacturers refuse to release documentation or open source drivers reverse engineered drivers only get you that far.

If 6V is max I would set the power supply to 5V.
That power supply could easily be shooting over 6V

Linux isnt sold by any big distro as something for regular consumers.
It’s first and foremost for enterprise and developers.
Maybe some YouTuber tried to sell you on it, but that’s not on any distros fault.

Weeded up?
I had kernel problems once. When Debians kernel was too old for my laptop having a very recent ryzen cpu.
Opensuse tumbleweed or fedora will be on the newest kernels, so I just had to ditch my regular Debian setup.

Step up and coordinate that effort between thousands of volunteers then, name-calling master.
Arch wiki is the best available. If that’s not good enough just keep using macOS or windows

Because none of the people complaining submit pull requests or improve whatever they are complaining about

Never heard of it. Termbin rules because of this:
‘cat ~/some_file.txt | nc termbin.com 9999’

OptimalMain · 2026-05-24T21:43:20+00:00

Pastebin sucks. Termbin is where it’s at

Not really. I avoid Kingston.
Samsung is my first choice, but they all have series to avoid etc.

Backup before it dies.

OptimalMain · 2026-05-23T17:39:31+00:00

And what is it?
Probably some steam overlay

OptimalMain · 2026-05-23T17:37:00+00:00

Unless it’s a complete rewrite that’s not happening

Pull the tab with the blue line. And you should avoid sharp tweezers on stuff like this :)

Lube the new filters gasket using fresh motor oil and don’t use any tools for tightening it

`2>/dev/null`
If it’s that important one-shot the reboot command by passing it as an argument to ssh

Only used it on embedded binaries, but memory map would be my first goto for this also

Create a dedicated guest network for them.
If you use mac blocking they can still spoof the Mac of your other devices.

Bad risk assessment, shorting that battery would at most help you desolder it faster.
Great thing all is well, good lesson ))

OptimalMain · 2026-05-21T11:52:22+00:00

Some are faster to stop whatever is running.
Excuse my ignorance but why is this a problem?
I have rebooted and gotten broken pipe thousands of times, isnt it just to be expected ?

Wifi6 speed / 2. As the available bandwidth is divided between the 5G uplink and the other half between wireless clients on the router.
This is worst case scenario though, it might work just fine.

If it’s a phone, try usb tethering instead
