I've done this several times over the last 18 years or so. The most recent was a few months a go. And my steamdeck persuaded me. Unfortunately I ran into the same WiFi networking issue I've never managed to resolve. Even on different hardware. Pings to my default gateway are ridiculously slow compared to windows. I spent countless hours trying to resolve. I gave up and have gone with windows 11 ltsc.

What is the constant? You have something that is unusual and that has not changed for 18 years. Is it specific to your home network? I have not had any issues I can remember with Linux wifi for as long as I have used wifi.

Like what sort of response times for each?

This is the type of thing that AI is actually good at diagnosing in my experience. Haven't had anything similar happen but seems more of a router issue upstream. Maybe worth checking what Steam Deck's connection has configured differently given it's on the same network?

  100% With ssh access to the underlying arch/fedora fork, it'd be an easy fix with AI

    Do you mean access to the source code?

  That is a very good point, what on earth was I thinking, I didn't try pinging it from my steamdeck. Actually, I'll try that, but now I'm back on windows the ship has sailed. Good point about AI too. This is on mint Linux and unless I'm remembering wrong years ago it was mint Linux that had the same issue completely different hardware and network

You can mess around or go buy a $10 gbit USB dongle that you know works like a tplink.

  I was thinking same thing. But it is a tplink pci card, with the right drivers.

Interesting; I haven't had wi-fi issues in Linux for more than a decade, but admittedly I sort of selection-bias towards laptops that are known to work fine with Linux.

I had a problem with a Realtek wifi card, where it would become slow for a few seconds every couple of minutes, had to disable a setting , maybe it helps you: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Troubleshooting_drivers_and_firmware https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wirel...

  I would have looked at this if I hadn't already jumped ship. It sounds like the problem I was having.

  To fair I'm using windows terminology when I say default gateway, I just mean the router supplied by my isp
