[Question] Choosing the right router for the job - Lemmy.World

Hi everyone! I recently successfully traced some network issues I was having in Counter Strike back to my QBittorrent client having too many open connections. Global maximum was set to around 500, with a 100 max per torrent. This caused major jitter and packetloss in-game. My current router is an Asus N18U which has Asus-Merlin on it. The issues kept coming back even with a smaller number of open connections to the point I had to shut down the client. I can’t remeber having these kinds of issue on Windows (current system CachyOS wit latest kernel), but I can ne wrong. For what kind of specs should I be looking in a router for this kind of task? Would a MikroTik hEX refresh (upgraded RAM and CPU) be enough or overkill? Thanks!

NumLock and Linux - Lemmy.World

So, what’s the deal with NumLock? I have it tuned on in the BIOS and in KDE settings, yet every time I boot up my PC or open the terminal as super user, it is turned off. Any way to deal with this? That happened on Bazzite, Fedora and now Cachy. I have a 100% keyboard and I want to use all 100% of it.

[Help] Counter Strike 2 extreme jitter - Lemmy.World

Hi everyone I have had really bad jitter in CS2 for about 3 months now. Last year the game worked flawlessly, but now it is slowly becomming unplayable. I don’t know when the issues started as I had a longer hiatus with the game. The frame rate is stable, only packet problems. I don’t have any other FPS games to compare it to. Loading and using regular web pages works just fine. It seems that there might be compounding issues. Things I noticed contribute to more jitter: - Pihole (default setup CouldFlare DNS, both IPv4 and v6) - Fedora kernel - x11 session What I tried: - switching to an older kernel 6.15.9 -> 6.14.9 - using CachyOS kernel (reduces jitter, but causes serious issues with Electron apps) - switching from Wayland (the default) to x11 - using Gamescope - verifying game files - disabling Pihole and unpluggin it from the network altogether My setup: Fedora 42 with latest updates and kernel 6.15.9, CachyOS kernel 6.16.1 Ryzen 2700 and RX6600, 32GB RAM I have no idea what to do next. The internet doesn’t offer any solutions and everything I have tried so far does absolutely nothing. It could just be a bug in CS2 itself, but it’s strange that almost noone is reporting it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Any way to force the desktop to load regardless? I know, typing startx isn’t hard, but I would like not to. Tnx!

[Undiagnosed] ADHD and stress - Lemmy.World

Hi everyone! I think this needs a bit of backstory before I get into the actual problem. There will be a TL;DR at the end. I am in my 30s and for some time now, after an encounter with an acquaintance from abroad who had been diagnosed with ADHD, I have been suspecting I might have it too. All the struggles and hardships he faced in his life overlap quite a bit with my own experiences. At first I didn’t think much of it, but found it rather strange as I always envisioned ADHD just as the physically hyperactive part and never really looked into it. But on multiple occasions, especially after joining Lemmy, there were popping up posts from the ADHDmemes community which were scary relatable. There were also some youtube videos, where creators I follow started to talk about their experiences and the process of getting diagnosed and how everything after that went for them. Considering all of that, I am fairly certain that I fall into this category as it would explain quite a bit about myself and why I do things the way I do. In my current relationship we hit a brick wall. I am very sensitive to stress and when in a stressful situation I tend to have outbursts of anger. Nothing violent, just verbally condescending. Exhibit A: “So, what do you plan to do about it?” “Do I look like I have a fucking clue what to do?!” or Exhibit B: “So, what now?” “I can’t talk about it now or the next few days.” (might be bad examples, but I can’t come up with anything better) This, of course, has led to one too many fights and problems not just with my partner, but with parents and family (including all the other things associated with ADHD as I found here https://lemmy.world/post/24554298 [https://lemmy.world/post/24554298]). Getting a diagnosis in my country (non-EU) would be hard. There seems to be just one doctor who does it in another city (I don’t think any of it would be even covered with healthcare) and from googling around it seems that medications is rather scarce. After doing one online questionnaire, which someone in a video suggested, I got a pretty low score meaning I don’t have it. Would going thru the effort and trying to get medication solve my stress related issues? Or would it just make it bearable? The ultimatum was clear - either solve it or gtfo. Talking to her about my suspicions about the causes didn’t seem to yield any results as it is just a suspicion. Before anyone suggests it, I went to therapy for a few years and it has helped greatly, but with (likely) faulty hardware there is only so much software trickery you can pull off. TL;DR: I am undiagnosed and therefore unmedicated. Partner set an ultimatum to get my sensitivity to stress under control or we are splitting for good. Has medication helped anyone with this specific issue?

Fedora 41/KDE broke itself - Lemmy.World

While I was adding Golang to the PATH my terminal (Konsole) suddenly stopped recognizing basic commands like nano and ls. I restared my PC and after logging back in (X11) KDE started throwing errors because it wasn’t able to find any program I tried to launch. Konsole is gone. I can’t open any program whatsoever (Firefox, Discover etc.). Trying to log in into Wayland just throws a black screen. After a few more reatarts I decided to use the terminal from the login screen, but it is broken as well. ls not found, nano and vim don’t exist. So far I can use pwd and cd. What the hell is wrong here? Is it hardware failure (bad SSD)? Is there anything I can attempt to recover the system?

Wayland vs X11 in Counter Strike 2 - Lemmy.World

Hello, Recently I was fed up with bad performance in CS2 on Fedora 41 (KDE/Wayland/kernel 6.11.7-300) and started googling around. With my RX6600 I was able to hit 60fps on 1080p/low, but it would often go as low as 40. Trying to change te resolution would cause some strange mouse issues where the game wouldn’t let me look to the right or down at all. After reading some posts and getting opposing info, I decided to dnf install plasma-workspaces-x11 and test things out. The X11 session doubled the FPS like it was nothing. A constant 120fps with the possibility to go even higher. Is there something that I could try and fix in Wayland to achieve the same level of performance? As far as I understood, KDE might axe X11 support in the upcomign releases and I wouldn’t want to be left behind.
