      Here’s a person having this issue in Manjaro and not in Windows 11: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/6717729343888060324/

      I link that specifically, because it’s newer, showing the issue still exists.

      Someone linked a reply to an article from 2015, talking about how to fix the issue: https://ein-eike.de/2015/01/02/fixing-download-speed-problems-under-steam-for-linux/

      Another Steam Forum post about this from 2021, where multiple people talk about having this issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/3083256496964006577/

      And of course, if you check Reddit, there are at least 50+ posts ranging in time from 2014 - 2023 about this.

      Everyone says to fix it, download DNSMASQ, and disable IPV6. Both of which don’t fix it for me, or pretty much anyone else having the issue since 2015.

      just going to say this are you sure you haven’t checked updated and uninstalled drivers and also prehaps checked to see if its a hardware issue maybe worked your way through some troubleshooting guides maybe

      I don’t really know how else to troubleshoot it. I’ve changed distros mulitple times, downloaded Steam from different repos/directly, and tried all of the "fixes’ posted online. My NIC isn’t the issue, since I am clearly getting 1887Mbps down in Firefox. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to try them.

      Truth is, no one knows why it’s happening, or what the actual fix is, and they are pretending to withhold the fix until I apologise for saying Linux doesn’t just work like Windows does. None of these hateful Lemmy Linux users that are attacking me actually know how to fix it, but they can’t admit Linux can be hella janky.

        Look I’m not going lie lol i have no idea what is going on here mate all I’m going say is good luck mate linux can be janky as fuck but when you get shit running well custom rice all your programs running well it’s perfecto and well worth the time and effort

        Although if you don’t have the time or effort to go though all this then just use windows whatever works for you mate check our tiny10 if I were you
