Network Issues with Solus
FakharHaider I was having some internet issues on solus,
What problem?
like the internet was very slow
FakharHaider do you have any network speeds up/down, packet loss, anything like that or does it just feel slow?

Hello,
I have Solus 4.3 Budgie DE and MANJARO Budgie DE 21.1.2 installed on bare metal on same type ( P/N ) of Desktop.
I have no speed difference beetween the 2 distro the only difference is that Solus uses less RAM than MNJRO.
( But I use Vivaldi and not Firefox anymore )
To test Net speed :
Either asked for a wget < URI of something >
Or try an youtube-dl -f "best[height<=720]" <youtube video URL>
The technical way is to use the equivalent of top/htop but for NetWork :
sudo su -c 'eopkg -y install iftop '; # Best Distro 
sudo su -c 'pacman -Syyu iftop --noconfirm '; # MNJRO
Check the NetWork Interface your want to test ( ifconfig )
sudo iftop -i eno1
And
Ping Google with antother terminal ( ping 8.8.8.8 )
Then Do the same with an Video Streaming...
Best regards
Solus_Invictus

Other Solution : Try Vivaldi because sadly Firefox has major issues and some MNJRO live USB as MANJARO Cinnamon DE 21.1.2. already use Vivaldi by deafault instead of Firefox
And, of course, ( sorry to say that but I've encoured cases like that ) never try performance on a Live USB they are very poor and usually not updated : The Worse is openSUSE Tumbleweed Live USB : Not recognized hardwares on LVU are fully functionnal on Final Isntallation ( That why openSUSE thakes 1h to 2h30 for a basic installaiton )
Brucehankins there were packet losses , i contacted my ISP and they fixed it, Thanks for your interest
SOLUS_INVICTUS I always found OpenSuse to have the longest install times...crazy difference really...no other distro has ever taken that long...then again, I never compiled Gentoo from scratch either...so there is that.

You perfectly right ~ 2h for only 6 Go of root installation...
NB:
You can reduce the openSUSE installation to 20minutes by :
- Using a USB with 'DVD' ISO instead of the Live USB
- Performing an off-line installation
- Not adding any softwares and Desktops during the installation phase ( Yast gives the sames patterns after install )
It reduces the time of installation to about 20 - 25 minutes instead of Hours !
( But with Huge Update Time for openSUSE Leap or Huge Upgrade time with kernel changes for openSUSE tumbleweed.
It reminds me the install of Solus 3.9999 which was done in 10 minutes ... but with ~ 1 Hour of upgrade 
)
Best regards
