Need help with steam please

Hello, i noticed that downloading game on steam is really slow on linux, and i found why its so.

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/16e1l4h/slow_steam_downloads_try_this/?share_id=7gybXb1OgBt4K7glEk0MK&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

i did this step and now i have full speed download.
problem is i dont know how to create a steam_dev.cfg on linux lol so i cant save this command @nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0
is it possible that u guys can update steam launcher with this @nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0 command build in?
that would be awsome! thanks

ok that’s an easy one.

Just run this command in a console

echo "@nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0" > ~/.steam/steam/steam_dev.cfg

Never had this problem with linux. On the contrary, it is not uncommon for steam to completely exhaust my Gbit line.
