@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I tried to install some of the apps listed there but they are not in the arch linux repos. Is there any other way to try them?

@kde@lemmy.kde.social @kde@floss.social The exact ones are Francis and Marknote, from your KDE for students page. Thought that was weird because almost everything is in the arch repos or the AUR

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @torben Just searched them. The packages are Francis and Marknote, from the KDE for students page. Found francis in flathub (although Id prefer native package) but I’m starting to think marknote doesnt even exist yet, idk

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @torben Okay, thanks!

01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 [8086:24fd] (rev 78)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 15)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [1043:200f]

I might do that if nothing else works, but it’d be really weird if there is not a simple native linux solution, I’m just not an expert lol

@Rustmilian @linux Thank you for your help! I did what you suggested and it fixed about 80% of the problem. I no longer randomly disconnect from the network and it is way faster than before, although download speed is still 8x slower than it was last week when I had fedora running instead of arch. I think I’m going to try more values for the 11n_disable parameter (there is no power management to disable), but even if it doesnt improve my machine is at least usable now. Thanks!

@knobbysideup @linux Yep, it is disabled

@driving_crooner @linux Just did it, but no change at all. I think that would be the solution if the card weren’t recognized, but the issue here is that it connects but erroneously reports weak wifi signal

@Rustmilian @linux Just tried that but no change. iwconfig was not found but I installed it through the wireless_tools arch package. Also confirmed that the linux-firmware package was always been installed with the iwlwifi-8265-34 and iwlwifi-8265-36 files in the folder you said. When I ran the iwconfig wlan0 power off command, there was no error but the connection quality didnt change, so I didnt do the rest of the suggestions
@Link commented they had the same issue but in the end decided that the solution was replacing the realtek card for an intel because the drivers just dont work. Im starting to agree, but still dont know how this issue didnt exist when I had fedora running
