A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

System details

OS: Omarchy 4.0.3-1

What's wrong?

Hi Omarchy team,

I'm having a recurring Wi-Fi issue on Omarchy and would appreciate some help diagnosing it properly.

This is the only significant issue I've experienced with Omarchy so far.

Problem

While using the system, Wi-Fi will randomly become almost completely unusable even though NetworkManager still shows the connection as active.

When this happens:

Internet speed drops significantly.
Ping becomes extremely high.
Connections eventually time out / reach 100% packet loss.
Wi-Fi still appears as connected.
The problem can occur during normal use without any obvious trigger.

A normal restart can also leave Wi-Fi unavailable. However, doing a complete shutdown and then powering the machine back on consistently brings Wi-Fi back.

Hardware / driver

My Wi-Fi adapter is:

Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter
PCI ID: 10ec:d723

Driver:

rtw88_8723de

Interface:

wlo1

Current healthy connection

When working normally:

Signal: -51 dBm
RX bitrate: 65.0 MBit/s
TX bitrate: 72.2 MBit/s

Router ping is also stable:

20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.823/1.010/2.057/0.248 ms

Internet connectivity is also normal when the problem isn't occurring:

1.1.1.1: 0% packet loss
average ping: ~5.6 ms

Relevant logs

The driver initializes with:

rtw88_8723de 0000:02:00.0: Firmware version 48.0.0, H2C version 0
rtw88_8723de 0000:02:00.0 wlo1: renamed from wlan0

NetworkManager also detects the adapter normally and reports:

driver rtw88_8723de
Wi-Fi hardware radio set enabled

I'm also seeing Omarchy-specific NetworkManager configuration:

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/{omarchy-wifi-powersave.conf,wifi-powersave-off.conf}

What I'm looking for

Could someone from the Omarchy/Linux networking side advise me on the proper way to diagnose and fix this?

In particular, I'm wondering whether this is a known issue with:

rtw88_8723de
RTL8723DE firmware
Wi-Fi power management
NetworkManager configuration
suspend/resume or device reset behavior
Omarchy's Wi-Fi configuration

I don't want to randomly change driver or power-management settings without knowing what the intended configuration is.

I'm happy to provide additional logs from the exact moment the Wi-Fi fails if that would help.

Thanks! Omarchy has otherwise been working great for me, so I'd really like to get this one issue figured out.
