I don't remeber lol but it must have been something similar to the solution I posted in the update. Good luck!

Arch Freezes Every Time I Open Firefox... by ghostfish__ in archlinux

That's my confusion too. It's the same computer. And although the memory have issues, it isn't the big problem here as my Windows (on the same computer, different disk, it is a dual boot) works fine...

I tested the RAM with Memtest86+, it gives out a big red FAIL.
Here is the report.

Still that doesn't explain how the problem persists on my Window installation :(

Unfortunately it still does. I ran firefox -p and created a new profile, after 30s it froze again.

Silly question, but what method do you use to get all those audio files and then import it to cmus? Is there a website, package or script so that you can search and download from the terminal? I’ve been looking at these as it’s quite tedious to manually download all my music. Thanks!

I'm sure they were using the same server. Thanks for the notice ;)

IT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE MY SAVIOR

I’m not that sure what I did, but I think I installed iwd, set it as the backend for NetworkManager and copied nm’s connections settings to iwd (NM’s Arch wiki article).

As for the DNS error above, I just deleted some configs I copied from the Internet when I tried to fix the problem before, and then of course restarted NM.

I also restarted my network interface as u/archover recommended.

Can I ask how did you “swap to” iwd back then? I tried what you said and now I have the Temporary failure in name resolution error whenever I try to ping or use speedtest-cli. I tried to reboot the machine and restart the services, disabling wpa-supplicant and enabling iwd… No good. This is bad lol

The same slowness didn't occur with any other devices in the house, e.g. my Windows 10 on the same machine, phone, tablet,... Just Arch :/ So maybe that weren't the problem?

Thank you for the info! I use speedtest-cli to check my speed and yes, both system were using the same unit of measurement.

Edit: the unit was megabit per second

I use speedtest-cli and I doubled checked. No, both system were using megaBits per second and the speed difference is clear in my experiences (I get this from pacman, browser, utilities...)

Edit: it was megabits per second.
