Their soundcards were not affected. Are they bad too now?

My thought was more like:

Mac? So probably a noob. Default Program.

Linux? Uh, okay, lets call second level support.

And dude sure knows how to use lower level tools.

On the password change page i got from the email, i fill in the new password, press Save and get... nothing. Console shows a HTTP 400 Error.

I forgot my password and want to try another app.

Btw, no contact info, nothing, on the webpage. Luckily, i was still logged in on the old app.

Are Realtek network chips still bad?

I had often issues with multiple Realtek wifi chips on Linux years ago and researched a bit. Apparently, they just reiterate their prior generation with patched-on features. And not only in software but in hardware too, to flood the market with cheap chips. To make it working smoothly on Windows, they use dangerous hacks in the driver, which Linux has not.

So this is still the case? I don't buy Realtek anymore and look closely on components.

Tl;dr: Mac driver has issues with an often used cheap and buggy realtek network chip.

If you tell the support you use Linux, do they listen a bit better?

Can confirm, such combined hubs have almost always a weak/cheap part that makes the whole thing useless on failing. That's why i now go with a single-job-per-component principle. Ethernet to USB-C adapter and HDMI to USB-C adapter on a hub for example.
