I’d think one needs a half decent car to be able to show speed. Or do the comparison with his peer in the team. For the former he showed something with Williams. For the latter, he is not far from Gasly, with a decade less experience. But yes clearly a rookie and a lot to learn

For people installing Linux on this hardware, PSA: the ethernet controller uses the I226-V chipset (igc kernel driver) and, out of the box, has a severe problem: TCP connections downstream are limited to just around 40Mbps regardless of the ethernet port speed. Eg. I connect it directly to gigabit switch and was initially confused to see that download speed was terrible in this otherwise powerful little machine. speedtest-cli shows 35Mbps, terrible.
When I tested iperf3 locally with 20 simultaneous connections, I could see that the downstream could fill the 1Gbps pipe. Then testing iperf3 with just one connect, the speed slows down to about 40Mbps. Bizarre.
Two solutions:
I monitor this box closely, it’s my new home server / HTPC. It runs 24/7 homeassistant, frigate, a bunch of other docker containers, kodi flatpak, retroarch flatpak etc.
My solution: enable ASPM globally in UEFI (the default), but disable it for the I226-V after boot:
# find the address of the controller # sudo lspci -vv | grep -i ethern # > 57:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I226-V (rev 04) # then at boot do: sudo setpci -s 57:00.0 CAP_EXP+10.w=0000
