Steam Download Speed is so slow on Linux...Here's the fix
# Linux - Steam Download Speed Fix
<b>Steam Download Speed is so slow on Linux...Here's the fix</b>
Some systems and configurations seem to have issues with HTTP2. Disabling HTTP2 will probably yield faster downloads on those configurations. You can either use the console command `@nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0` or set it in steam_dev.cfg
There is another one which makes Steam connect to more servers (up to 10) which can improve download speeds.
`@fDownloadRateImprovementToAddAnotherConnection 1.0`
You can then use the command `download_sources` to see various stats.
For native installs of Steam where you have installed Steam through apt, dnf, pacman, etc... the file path will be as follows:
`~/.steam/steam/steam_dev.cfg`
For Flatpak installs of Steam the file path will be as follows:
`~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/steam_dev.cfg`
**I have added the `steam_dev.cfg` file in this repository that you can put in the file path.
