There are many causes for slow data transfer rates; even if your personal connection to your ISP's server is blazing fast, if the download server actually pushing data to you via the IP's server is slow or has a bad connection, your download will be slow or spotty.

well my download speed was faster on Bazzite...

If it rapidly fills, your DL rate is fine, if it constantly buffers, something's up
But don't jump straight down linux's throat over some random git or whatever, you could be wrenching for no reason, dig

my apologies if It felt like the Boy who cried wolf, it's just that the same thing happened to me a while ago on LMDE

No worries, that's why my first concern is "is it just a bum server pushin data slow"
"try a fast server" dig
If for example you're using Steam DL rate as your dipstick here, they have a few datacenters and you can try picking one that's closer
If you're using Ookla's transfer speed tester, that might denote something either local to your pc/your router/your modem... or the corporate bastards could just be throttling you rn ala Comcast
There's a few ways this happens dig

I can't read this, why does it say it failed
tepid junco
it didn't find the package
tidal umbra
it's in the ubuntu noble repo
tepid junco
okay
I've followed the instructions on speedtest.net
and It worked
I have it now
tidal umbra
welp, let's see the result
tepid junco
oh well
tepid junco
no
tidal umbra
Use the browser version
tidal umbra
blazing fast, no ping to speak of
tepid junco
do I change the localisation to the US and redo the test ?
tidal umbra
Yeah try downloading from a different server but also remember that most servers aren't gonna give you their max, they're gonna give you metered output
If you wanna try filling your pipe, try torrenting
Because that's a lot of pipe
