Asked By TechieNinja42 On

I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint and have been really enjoying the experience. However, I've noticed a huge drop in my download speed — it used to be around 230-250mb/s on Windows, and now it's only 20-40mb/s on Linux. I'm not sure what could be causing this issue and would love some help figuring it out!

It sounds like it might be a driver issue, or you could be having problems with a 2.4 GHz connection. It’s not too uncommon for driver issues to pop up. If you can, run `lsusb -v` in your terminal and share the output so we can help diagnose your hardware situation.

This definitely seems abnormal. You might want to check your network drivers first. Are you using a wired connection or is it wireless?
