⚠️⚠️THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED, IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE STILL IT MAY BE RECOMMENDED TO USE A NEWER DISTRO OR IF YOU STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM OPEN A NEW SEPARATE ISSUE.⚠️⚠️

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

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
