Sorry OP, I don't know why I gave you a wireless device command for your ethernet connection. I must have smoked too much weed. Again.

For ethernet problems go through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … leshooting. Anything TLP does opaquely with dodgy bash scripts we can do with full transparency and a text editor :-)

Device problems with De{vu,bi}an are usually caused by firmware rather than drivers, which is what the last few posts have been about.

The official Debian bookworm release ISO images will include the non-free firmware needed to make devices work out-of-the-box, just as they do in distributions such as Ubuntu.

It's always better to actually show the log rather than offer up vague descriptions. It's less effort for you and less confusing for us. Use a pastebin site and share a link if it's very large.

Your link describes a non-working connection rather than an intermittent connection so I don't think it's relevant here. Newer drivers can always be obtained from the backported kernel anyway, no need to compile locally.

Try

# iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

But that is a runtime option and will be lost upon reboot. Use a udev rule to make it permanent.

It is based on musl libc and so is fundamentally incompatible with systemd, which relies on GNU's extensions.

But:

I find looking at the logs works better than guessing. Have you tried that?

You expressed your opinion.

I don't think anybody cares.

^ +1 :-)

The pipewire.desktop file doesn't need to be executable and also ~/.config/autostart/ is not honoured in simple window manager desktops so for those the pipewire{,-pulse} & wireplumber launcher lines would have to be placed in ~/.xsessionrc instead. This would also work for full desktop environments and so should probably be preferred.

Is that John Cage?

Too short thought. It should be 4 minutes & 33 seconds...

Electronic Generations by Carl Cox.

This is *awesome* through a decent pair of headphones.

Playing this in Qobuz' Web thingy under Firefox via a USB DAC with this ~/.asoundrc:

pcm.Digital {
   type hw
   card v1
}

ctl.!default {
   type hw
   card v1
}

pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave {
      pcm "Digital"
      rate "unchanged"
   }
}

^ That forces ALSA to pass the PCM stream directly to the DAC (identified as v1 in /proc/asound/cards) without it's usual 48kHz resampling.

We don't need no stinkin' sound servers

Fifth generation Ryzen should be good. I'm running a 5850U and I will probably switch to bookworm/daedalus after the release. For those branches 6th generation would also work, I think.

EDIT: and with a processor like that even GNOME is as snappy as a pool full of alligators
