Any way to compress game files on linux? I know that all games vary, content vary and so on, but is there any things i can look out for in like an average steam game which I can compress, and the game can still run fine, tools or programs or anything?

    Have you measured the difference? Is it huge? I’m curious to understand what the trade-offs are and how many more games can you store on the same drive.

      My main goals are efficient space usage and portability, so I’ve never measured anything. I’ll get some stats for you.

        I would appreciate even not very accurate comparison just to get the idea. A brief search meanwhile showed me it’s a great idea actually. But having someone who uses that to comment would be great too. Thanks.
