So I've got a bit of a weird #Linux issue, and I'm hoping #AskFedi can shed some light!
For context: PC is a Framework Laptop 13, AMD Ryzen 7040 mainboard, Fedora 42. Software and firmware are both fully up-to-date. I've been running Fedora Workstation (GNOME) for a while but decided to reinstall and switch to Fedora KDE Plasma this week. Same Fedora; different DE.
The problem: now that I'm on Plasma, the wifi is suddenly unreliable. The connection itself appears to be steady--no disconnect notifications, nothing in dmesg or NetworkManager logs, but every minute or two, for a few seconds, I'll get a "hiccup" that looks like webpages not loading, network requests failing in the terminal, latency, etc.
No such issues on the same PC in Windows 10 or Fedora Workstation. Wifi power save is not enabled. Other suggested "fixes", such as disabling IPv6, do not help. The same problem occurs with two different wifi cards.
EDIT: I was pretty sure the problem was only occurring while running on battery, but I'm now plugged in to top the thing up, and guess what! Three browser tabs just timed out all at once! So I have nothing, I guess. Please help me.
Boosts appreciated--thank you!
