There's a thing I've had to manually set on some Linux distros to improve Steam download speeds. I'm currently on Bazzite and I think it applies the fix for you.

Thank you for your reply ❤️ . I've tried that fix using ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/steam_dev.cfg
but the issue still persists. I don't think its just related to steam. I noticed sometimes when I go to a website it will time out but then it will load just fine on a refresh. Or like a YouTube video wont load initially. It's very frustrating because it wont show up on other speed tests.
As I was typing this I thought in my head... This sounds like a DNS issue. It must be a DNS issue. For some reason even though my router was set to 9.9.9.9 and my computer was set to my router, setting the DNS address manually in network manager fixed the issue.
