I've seen this a couple of times on reddits r/all front page

People like to say that lemmy is a better alternative or much more different with its userbase than reddit but I'll say that's rather the opersite it's got pretty much the same userbase from reddit plus alot of people whom have been banned which makes the stuff you do see here alot less welcoming and alot more poloarising it alot of the content I see on all is tankie or extreme alt left memes I get comedy is subjective and all but me personally im surprised anyone finds any those memes funny most unfunny memes I've seen in my life and reposts like this sprinkled in with a shit ton of rage bait news articles

You can take a redditor from reddit but you can't take the reddit out of the redditor

I've spent the past 2 days being called names because I am having an issue with download speeds in Linux, and I said Windows is better because in my experience it just works.

Someone literally told me to apologize for saying this, lmao. I'm called an idiot, moron, that I am the problem, all because Linux refuses to work, and the hardcore FOSS/Linux Lemmy community can't handle it.

This place is so tiring. Reddit users were toxic, but Lemmy users are even more so. I guess that's what happens when you get all the banned people, like you said, and a group of people who hate Reddit, in one place. Lemmy reminds me of VOAT. Instead of insane right-wing hate, it's just insane hate to anyone who dares pay money for something, or says something negative about FOSS/Linux.

I agree on the lemmy being quite tiring at times my first post garnered alot of attention and I had to deal with those unsavory types anyways what are you having troubles with on linux I'm a bit of a newbie myself but I might be able to help m8

Here's the post ~~piss take~~ in question https://lemmy.world/post/6586403

Steam only downloads at around 120Mbps on all of the distros I've tried, which are Ubuntu 23.10, Fedora 39, and Manjaro 23.0.4.

The distro sees my 2.5Gb NIC, and the web browser downloads at full speed, but Steam refuses.

I tried everything. Changing servers, installing DNSMASQ, different distros, etc. and nothing fixes it. DNSMASQ did bump up my speed to 300Mbps for a second, but then right back down to 120Mbps.

Upon Googling this, it's a known issue. A LOT of people have the issue. Some them say DNSMASQ fixes it, others say Valve fixed it years ago, and others, like me, say nothing fixes it, and we move back to Windows where we get 1900Mbps download on Steam.

Everyone who wants to fight me about this, calling me names, all say it's "an easy fix", but refuse to tell me until I tell them I am a stupid idiot and apologise for criticizing Linux.

Here's my issue:

[–] folkrav@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

I get your frustration, but "criticizing Linux" while you're visibly having a known Steam issue is kind of weird. Not saying you're not having the issues, and I understand why you went back instead of dealing with it, but are you "criticizing Windows" when some other piece of third-party software bugs out too?

[–] boo_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've noticed that Steam for Windows displays download speed in mbit/s while the Linux client displays it in mbyte/s, although both display the unit as mb/s. This is a setting that can be toggled. This doesn't account for the entire difference (1887mbit > 109mbyte) but is one contributing factor.

[–] Polar@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In my screenshot Steam is set to Mbps, same as speedtest.

Also the time left to download rdr2 in the screenshot wouldn't be that long if it was MB/s instead

[–] boo_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, that's annoying. Have you reported the issue to Valve? Seems like it's their issue to fix. I personally haven't encountered this issue, so I'm unable to help further, but it seems that it's an issue with Steam's Linux client since the rest of the system is unaffected, as I understand it.

Yeah I particularly didn't enjoy people from the US who couldn't point my country in a map basically chastising me for mentioning the leftist party that has been in power for something like the last 40 years hasn't done us any good in a post where they were circle jerking about the right wing liberal candidate being bad

I had to block tons of subs at this point. Mostly political ones but some that shouldn't be political like world news too
