Weirdest damn thing, occasionally my network connectivity was being lost. Not the wifi signal, but just the route to the internet. I finally realized today it happens whenever I do a fresh boot (i.e. first time after system boot) of Heroic Games Launcher.

I am running OpenSuse Tumbleweed and using the Heroic Flatpak. Any idea how I would debug what the heck is going on so I can give a bug report to the Flatpak maintainers? I was poking around /var/log but didn't see anything interesting.

Edit: Correction, it brings down my network on every single launch, not just from a fresh boot. The network eventually comes back up, but it blips for a good few minutes.

Message that pops up in KDE is "This device appears to be connected to a network but is unable to reach the internet. " and trying to open websites leads to an error page.

Output of netstat -rn looks the same when the network is down, same for other tools like route and ip route.

What do ping and traceroute look like before and during? Any unusual timeouts or DNS failures?

Looks like it may be my DNS server getting flooded, see the thread at https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/8057349.
