Why Is My WiFi Slow on Fedora? The Culprit Is Bluetooth (Intel CNVi Antenna Sharing)

In the same room, on the same WiFi: a Windows 10 machine pulled 50 Mbps while my Fedora laptop was stuck at 2-3 Mbps. Driver, signal, channel, background downloads — all clean. Pinging my own modem showed the problem wasn't out on the internet but between my laptop and the modem; the cause was Bluetooth. I proved it with measurements, and I walk through the two fixes that failed and the mistakes I made building the speed test.

Fixing Fedora Freezing Under Load: zram + Disk Swap + earlyoom

Fedora 44 froze completely under heavy load and only a hard power-off recovered it. Here is how I found the root cause (zram-only, no disk swap) and fixed it for good, step by step. Plus an addendum: how I fixed the SELinux alert my own fix raised two days later.
