According to multiple debian based and ubuntu based and Arch I use. No. Not default. Cubic still is.

My experience was that some days ago I was trying to make my UDP faster, but turned out found out about BBR - for TCP. Well, lucky me - currently some country away from home for family reason. Plex generally takes 40-80s to start a movie/episode for me. And measly about 10s max buffer available - and this is on a 3-5Mbps show.

After BBR (note I have to apply on Proxmox host, my container are unprivileged and can’t set this themselves), I got 8-30s max to start a show/movie. And now comfortably sit between some good minutes on buffer. 15-20Mbps quality now playable.

To me personally it was black magic, and I was tossing it in just 2 days ago too

For someone lives in the country since he was born, yea, me neither have mine with peanuts.

The HX-whatevrG definitely will be much better in term of look and size.

I would not go the eGPU way. Interested from the first time it was a thing, and still now, and still no buy. They are stupidly expensive, and tbh, a fucking eyesore. They are size of a normal SFF case, but now you lose all the benefit on performance. And the small one from GPD with a 6600M? Cost nearly the same as my HX90G, and even for oculink, it is still have less bandwidth than my HX90G.

Check out Miniforums HX90G/HX99G. Might be exactly what you’re looking for.

I am currently still using my HX90G daily and when travel more than a week

At least these bots are not “the” bots you think they are.

But there is an ubuntu server oddnumber.not-04?
