My bandwidth is mildly annoying me. I have gigabit, can't top 700mbps on a speed test. I'll probably need to have a tech come out and test my line or something.

4GB download, I'll see it in an hour

Ddreamyuki you mean for installing apps flattpak need sudo?

Hex•6/30/24, 2:05 AM

To install, it calls pkexec/gnomesu if you try to install flatpaks without the --user.

Hex•6/30/24, 2:05 AM

But on silverblue it doesn't so

Pez•6/30/24, 2:06 AM

sounds normal

Pez•6/30/24, 2:06 AM

tbh

CCrono 4GB download, I'll see it in an hour

Crono•6/30/24, 2:06 AM

Testing should be stable for AMD at least

HHex But on silverblue it doesn't so

Hex•6/30/24, 2:06 AM

Idrk if it redirects the installation somewhere or if there's just a custom permission set.

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:07 AM

Huh I haven't even hit 1tb this month.

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:07 AM

I'm slacking.

Crono•6/30/24, 2:08 AM

Gotta download more Linux ISOs

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:08 AM

Truth.

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 2:08 AM

sometimes your isp's router will have a test connection setting somewhere in there where you can automatically test the speed of their connection to your router

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 2:08 AM

so you could know on what end your connection issue is

Crono•6/30/24, 2:08 AM

It could be a router limitation

Pez•6/30/24, 2:08 AM

more likely cpu

Crono•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

For full gigabit you'll want 2.5Gb-enabled equipment

CCrono Gotta download more Linux ISOs

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

For some reason lately most of my Linux ISOs go in /ExtSD/Emulation/Roms/Switch/ExtSD/Emulation/Roms/Switch

Pez•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

can you stop saying gigabit

Pez•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

that's like 100mbps

Crono•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

It is

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

Yeah it just frustrates me when my ISP hosts a steam mirror but I still can't get really fast download speeds.

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

1000Mbps

PPez more likely cpu

Crono•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

Or if it's compressed like Steam downloads it might be CPU, yeah

Pez•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

if it's a gigabyte then the odds are you just don't have enough headroom on the actual machine downloading

Pez•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

bandwidth isn't some magic free resource that comes alongside your internet connection, you still need a fast machine for fast downloads

PPez that's like 100mbps

Crono•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

100MB/s*

CCrono 100MB/s*

Pez•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

:shrug:

Pez•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

still not even in the same ballpark

HHex To install, it calls pkexec/gnomesu if you try to install flatpaks without the -...

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

Other distro is same as silverblue
Flatpak has its own polkit rules for allowing non privileged users to install package system wide

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

well it's not CPU, and I'm connected via wired ethernet and my USB dock has 1gbps ethernet so IDK.

Crono•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

Speed tests are usually Mbps

Crono•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

So, megabit

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

1000Mb/s = 125MB/s, approximately

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/flatpak/
Just look at flatpak for archlinux
It has polkit rules just like silverblue

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

letters are hard

Crono•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

Not as bad as converting between imperial and metric

Hex•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

No its not

Hex•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

That's saying for personal experience

Hex•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

Flatpak installed as system for me always asked password

Hex•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

or sudo if done through cli
It only doesn't ask for it on immutable distros such as silverblue

Pez•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

well it's kinda abstract but either way either they're advertising gigabit and this is correct

CCrono Not as bad as converting between imperial and metric

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

Oh god. My country is stupid like that. We tend to measure PEOPLE in Imperial and everything else in Metric. I blame US media.

Pez•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

or they're advertising gigabyte and you are trying to milk a rock

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

height/weight are feet/lbs, but in stores stuff is in grams/kg

KamquatOP•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

so stupid

Crono•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

I doubt they're advertising GB/s

Crono•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

That'd require some really fancy enterprise equipment

Pez•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

i would not buy from someone who tries to make their connection look better by calling it "gigabit" like we're in the 90s tbh

HHex No its not

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

What other distro do you use?
I use arch before and flatpak not asking for my password for installing package
It only does that when adding repo

PPez i would not buy from someone who tries to make their connection look better by c...

Crono•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

It's just industry standard at this point
