Hey, how’s it going? This is my first time using Manjaro, although I have some (2+ years) experience with Arch, and I’m facing some issues particularly with my wired internet connection. I’m using a dual boot alongside Windows 10 and in Windows I don’t experience the same problems, nor with my other devices (Wifi or wired), which indicates is not an issue with my internet per se (or my ISP). I was also facing some performance issues, like lagging when dragging floating windows (I’m using the i3 Manjaro lightweight install from the Manjaro website), but I figured it could be the compositor’s fault (picom) so I disabled it and the performance seems to be much better now, although I still experience some slow responses for some commands (like opening an application or killing a window) sometimes. But the major issue is definitely my ethernet connection. When testing with speed-test CLI I get a 280 Mbps download speed (which shouldn’t be the case as I have a 500 Mbps connection, but that in particular might be my ISP’s fault) but I don’t get the correct speed when navigating or downloading stuff. Usually I get around 1 to 5 Mbps download with pacman (I’ve already tried to update and sort mirrors) and in Firefox.
One particular situation in which I can really feel the connection issues is when I first start up WhatsApp Web (and Firefox in general). I takes a long ass time to load the first time and messages tend to lag as well. I tried with Chromium and it loads a bit faster, but it’s still slow and the messages still lag sometimes. I also experience slow loading in other websites, like Gmail, or when loading images in websites.

I’ve tried switching the kernel to linux54, but it made no noticeable difference. I’ve tried to disable auto-negotiation through the network manager CLI and set a fixed DNS address to 8.8.8.8, still no difference.
Anyone?
