I had been having slow download speeds under steam on linux and was looking for …a fix when i came across this reddit forum and my speeds got instantly improved https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/4NCYHM9WvP But what could be causing this? Iv tried several linux distros this past week from nobara, fedora, debian, and now opensuse and they all have the same issue and disabling http2 using a .cfg in ~/.steam/steam/steam_dev.cfg fixes the issue on all of them @nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0 @fDownloadRateImprovementToAddAnotherConnection 1 @cMaxInitialDownloadSources 15 Here is a video of someone explaining it aswell and showing the improvements it made https://youtu.be/A_kRdad3eb4?si=5EgmSu4ZpW26aE2K
