  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I am literally using Linux right now. Busy spending all my hours trying to fix it and make it work.

    Why does Steam only download at 100Mbps max, when Windows downloads at 1500Mbps? Would appreciate any help trying to make basic functions work. Thanks.

    You know you can use multiple operating systems and stop shilling for one, right?

    Check with ethtool in what your Ethernet card is. Assuming you are using one.

    EDIT: aaaand you just didn't mention that firefox downloads at full speed on linux.

    I had a similar issue just that it was the whole system. I reinstalled arch and it somehow worked. I guess it was some kind of kernel/module problem.

    I've been Googling for hours, and people say to disable IPv6 and install DNSMASQ. Neither fixed it.

    Honestly might just go back to Windows. I can't continue to waste my life troubleshooting the most basic shit in the world. It's not like my entire PC is slow, it's just Steam.

    Perhaps I will try Linux again for the 80th time in a few months to see where it sits then.
