I have the same issue with an RTL8723DE controller on both Windows and Linux.

You got any ethernet ports? Just use ethernet if WiFi is glitchy

It's not always about ethernet ports, it's also about location of device. Location of router, available space, basement or not, safety, where to PUT the cable.
Especially if they are using a laptop, using Ethernet might not be an option (most of the time not)

but if you're using a laptop then you have to be near the router at all times.

Test how good your computer is at doing math. 3DS and Wii U online after shutdown.

True.

It's getting kinda annoying prioritizing one thing over the other when choosing a Linux distro, when I need them all.

Make your own with arch linux It's all forks of forks anyway!

Not really a thing I can commit to and that's the problem.

My realtek network controller (RTL8821CE) wasn't supported by default in the Fedora kernel. It started working randomly, however.
That was the one that didn't work. It connects and disconnects a lot.

It did that at first, but it's a lot more stable for me now.

Hey. I use arch btw. I also use a Fedora Silverblue system too!

WiFi for most WiFi cards was stable in Kernel 4.19 and Kernel 5.4, but since 5.8 and 5.10 it has really sucked. (I've used Linux since early 4.19)

Sign on the M18 Motorway warning that horses, horse-drawn vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles are forbidden.

Road signs in the Republic of Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the “New World” style of a yellow diamond. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States.

Typical road signs in rural areas of the Republic of Ireland. Here, a fingerpost with old road number and Bord Fáilte logo. Signpost located in Rathangan, Co. Kildare.

Regulatory signs (relating to limits and prohibitions) differ very little from those used in the rest of Europe.

The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs.

In Ireland, the highest category of road is a motorway (mótarbhealach, plural: mótarbhealaí), indicated by the prefix M followed by a one- or two-digit number (the number of the national route of which each motorway forms a part). The motorway network consists entirely of motorway-grade dual carriageways and is largely focused upon Dublin. There are also several three-lane motorways, while Ireland's busiest road, the M50, incorporates four-lane, five-lane, and six-lane stretches.

I broke my arch linux VM yesterday after updating it…
it'll probably take the whole weekend to fix

Also Debian VMs contantly break by changing the wallpaper of all things lol

Weekend? I think it actually takes like 5-10 minutes to reinstall.

I think it actually takes more than 45 minutes to back up all your files.

Here are some of my followers!

I joined: 5 years, 9 months, 24 days ago (31/03/2018)
I have: 479 followers
In total, I have attained: 1,403 loves, 1,145 favourites, and 33,731 views.
Fun Fact: If my account continued to gain followers at a similar rate to right now, in 14,210 years I would reach the number of followers griffpatch has today! Try to imagine how many followers he would have then!
Thank you everyone!

What files would you need to back up so bad? Also that would take like ~ 10 minutes at most. Try a seperate home partition so when the rootfs breaks (the OS files) you can just reinstall and keep your ~/

Config files are always supposed to be stored in home, settings as well, wallpapers are installed via a package or you can store it in home. Shell configs are in ~/.config. You'd have to be pretty dumb to modify the system config files, can't go back if you do…
