On my linux machine, dns queries would sometimes last 5 seconds with ipv6 enabled. It made my internet surfing experience extremely frustrating. Disabling ipv6 resolved this issue.

Don't really understand networks yet, but I guess it was because my isp doesn't support ipv6, but linux kept defaulting to ipv6 before trying ipv4.

Most likely your DNS (which may be the ISP default) is bad at handling ipv6 queries, solvable by switching to Cloudflare DNS or something. If you care. Probably neither of us would bother.
