Well that’s interesting I’ve never experienced that before but then again its been awhile since i mained linux 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
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.

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
I will say, Linux is definitely way better now than it was even 18 months ago, but it’s random issues like this that make things so frustrating.
I’ve been trying to fix it for 5 days now. I spent a good 3 hours one day just Googling shit, and it’s still broken.
It’s not that I like Windows, I just can’t see how spending hours upon hours trying to fix something broken in Linux that just works in Windows is worth my time. Doesn’t help when Lemmy users claim they can fix it in 2 minutes, but refuse to tell me how like some child lol
Maybe when I try Linux again next year this issue will be resolved.

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/
