Internet connection acting funny on my Bazzite
Hey! I have just recently installed Bazzite on my Asus TUF A17 laptop and I have noticed that my internet connection acts weird. Although Showing successful connection nonstop, the connection itself seems to drop into void by every few minutes, meaning lags or complete kicks from games and disconnects in Discord calls. What might cause this issue?
My partner has found a thread with a similar issue if that helps. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=402859

Update, Issue fixed. If someone would meet the same kind of issue, here are the steps that may help.
iw list
Check your network interface name, for me it was wlp3s0.
iw wlp3s0 get power_save
Check if power save is turned on or off for network. If it's on, then
1) sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi-powersave-off.conf
2) sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi-powersave-off.conf
Inside nano:
-# To save your file with this content, press Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter.
Once it's done,
systemctl restart NetworkManager
If you run iw wlp3s0 get power_save again, it should return you power save finally turned off. With this the connection should work well again.
Thanks for nothing.I had that issue on my ROG Ally, I added this in the Bazzite docs a few weeks ago https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/issues_and_resolutions/#lag-spikes-on-the-rog-ally-z1e
It vastly improved my internet on my HP laptop too to the point where sunshine/moonlight runs flawlessly. So looks like it might be a general solution to laggy internet. I'll make some edits and make a PR on the docs
