Problem with Opera GX data speed Issue affecting connection quality and loading times
Hey, I tried connecting your new HP desktop with the Tewell TV speakers (model T-232). It seems the sound drivers got messed up, so I’m switching to a fresh audio driver. But Opera GX isn’t downloading fast—often it caps at around 30 KB per download—and the network limiter is off. I’ve allowed Opera to use full system resources, which means it’s barely using over 1% CPU and less than 0.71 GB RAM. I have an i5-12400 12th gen processor with 8 GB RAM. Need some advice.
A bit late, but I resolved the issue another way, and the sound drivers improved. It turns out I was getting the driver from Realtek’s site, which was limiting speeds below 30 kbps, while other downloads were fast. TL;DR Realtek isn’t great and tends to be cheap.
They render normal client and access point functions nearly unusable on Linux. Windows 10 handles hotspot smoothly, but Realtek doesn’t benefit from Linux support—effectively ignoring most users. Despite this, I won’t abandon my hardware because of limited software options. Instead, I’ll keep using a VM until the internal chip fails or Wi-Fi hotspot functionality improves in Linux. This could take a long time, but I remain grateful for the effort behind computer components. From the labor in Africa, Peru, South America, and beyond, people endure terrible conditions, pollute their environment, and often lack basic resources like clean water. The manufacturing sector in China and other regions also relies heavily on such workers, many of whom are unaware of the broader impact. I’m curious—does Taiwan also rely on forced labor? The tech industry has been struggling for too long; if I were more informed a decade ago, I wouldn’t own a quad-core processor or multiple graphics cards. This fuels my reluctance to support this industry. Realtek ignores Linux support, while Intel offers Clear Linux—a top-tier, fast Linux system tested by Phoronix. I block so much content that watching YouTube is unreliable. My link might be incorrect, but it gives a clear picture.
Yeah, those in power at the top and in big businesses didn’t care much since they made money from it all, but they keep talking about reparations from a long time ago that we’ve already moved past. They ignore slavery elsewhere while focusing on other issues. America and other global powers are almost ready to go to Mars, yet here we still have slave labor, and those in authority benefit from it. Why would anyone try to change the system when they’re making profits from it? Sorry for my rant. I was actually talking about Realtek being affordable like most tech firms and opting for the simpler route by using inexpensive components and basic approaches. I tried MX Linux for a month, and honestly, I enjoyed it, but the compatibility layer was really frustrating. So I switched back to Windows 11. The oddest problems occurred with my games—backgrounds in loading screens would pixelate, and sometimes the games wouldn’t run at all. If Linux were just a rebranded version of Windows using the same file formats instead of .deb files, I’d be more impressed. But no, things can’t be easy. Everything has to be challenging for the consumer.
You know that's just not gonna happen right? Microsoft even has their own Linux distribution called Common Base Linux (CBL) Mariner, now at 2.0. Linux needs improvement on peogram packaging, this .deb vs .rpm needs to stop. That all started thanks to Debian Linux way back in what, 1992 I think the developer Ian, created both Debian Linix and the debian package format. Well there was already Redhat Package Manager .rpm format. Instead of working with the existing format, this dude created a completely incompatible format that only works on Debian-based systems. I get the Debian Linux initiative, free, open-source, like Fedora, but without corporate development. But do not PURPOSELY WILLINGLY break software compatibility for an, at the time especially, niche platform. It still holds back software developmemt on Linux to this day because of his work. Instead of choosing to work WITH the Redhat developers and offer programming suggestions and advice, he worked AGAINST the entire Linux community, and I can't understand the ressoning there. Lastly, Linux is based on proprietary, and closed-source UNIX systems from I believe the 1970s or very early 1980s. Linux began in 1991, and was still very difficult to use even in the early 2000 to 2005 years. Things have improved quite a bit in such a short time, it won't be too much longer until Linux is more broadly understood and used. Check out the native Steam for Linux and inside, built in game compatibility layer, caled Proton, based on Wine, to play Windows games on Linux.
The site you visit runs on software called "Bullshit," which is powered by Linux. This operating system is used by a significant portion of public internet servers—about two-thirds. The reason isn’t just affordability; it’s the extensive training required to manage Linux, which I wasn’t able to complete. Instead, it offers full control without recurring subscription costs or licensing fees, and it allows complete customization. This particular version (not Debian, but Arch) is installed on devices like the Steam Deck, where modifying the main filesystem isn’t straightforward.
Its purpose seems to be ensuring system stability, especially for newcomers to Linux. It’s now running on many top 500 supercomputers. This setup helps prevent misconfigurations and boosts reliability, making it a better fit for beginners. It also supports gaming on such powerful machines soon.
Patience is needed. Report any issues and consider supporting projects financially. If every Linux user contributed just one dollar annually, it could generate millions yearly. Linux lacks tracking tools like telemetry, so we don’t know exactly how many users exist. Yet, these initiatives need more funding.
Issues like the "heartbleed" or "log4j" vulnerabilities highlight the risks of widely used software. These flaws affected nearly all websites at one point, sparking widespread concern. The developers behind such tools weren’t compensated for their work, yet millions profit from them. This lack of accountability is concerning.
Linux’s open-source nature offers a sustainable future. It empowers anyone to contribute and innovate. While Windows remains dominant due to its ease of use and broad driver support, Linux’s growth shows it can compete. The phoronix website is a valuable resource for learning about Linux’s inner workings.
Congratulations, but I’m not really engaging with your text wall. Everyone on Linux seems to have their own battles, and that just feels like nonsense. Linux is complicated, and trying to use it is tough. Games don’t run well on it, and even though I want to move away from Microsoft’s version, it keeps breaking my trust. Fix the file formats, then. Edit: I can work with Debian and the terminal, but the compatibility layer is a pain. I’m not Einstein. That’s why Linux left me, compared to Windows’ ease, but I don’t like Microsoft’s approach. I’m working really hard to get comfortable with Linux, but so far I’m still disappointed.
