From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Realtek wifi is the bane of open source driver
As I have learned the hard way, it truly is.
I have 8723be, not only it randomly disconnects but also it sometimes drops to 30 KB/s requiring a reconnect and has bad signal reception even on Windows. Ethernet 4 life.
That first part sounds like software/firmware stuff like mine, but the second part almost sounds like an antenna design issue.
Wait till you see a Mediatek
