I have a new issue that I've never had before in Ubuntu.
I'm trying to get into Krita painting and I want to start to stream my art process with OBS to sites like twitch, but sadly I will not be able to do so if this problem persists.
During my utilization of Krita along with my graphics tablet, my network connection applet notifies me that I am disconnected from the network. Before I have a chance to investigate, I am automatically reconnected or "connection established" notification appears. It never stays disconnected for more than a few seconds.
I don't know if the connection is really dropping or not. I watch video tutorials on youtube or other people's twitch streams while I'm painting sometimes. During this time if it shows the disconnection notification, the videos I'm watching in the browser don't buffer, pause or anything.
This problem only happens when I'm drawing in Krita while I use my pen-tablet driver from the manufacturer.
The graphics tablet is an XP-Pen Deco-01 and the driver only works if I open a terminal in the directory that I downloaded from xp-pen website and run this code with sudo:
remo@pastlife:~/Desktop/Art/Linux_Pentablet_V1.2.4$ sudo ./Pentablet_Driver.sh
[sudo] password for remo:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
The driver keeps this terminal open and must remain open for the tablet to work. Being a newbie in Linux and not knowing a lot about network security, I am a little concerned that the driver might have some sort of malware or something.
I'm really bad with network tools but I do know that in my router settings I have properly set my Ubuntu machine with a static IP.

Someone online had a similar issue but I think theirs would stay disconnected and they solved it with this code:
sudo ethtool -s enp5s0 speed 100 duplex full
What does this code do and would it be useful in my situation?
I'm really lost here so thank you so much for your time reading this post.
