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?


Btrfs is usually last in perf benchmarks, so I wouldn’t do it myself
in fact, I have regretted using btrfs because it made my laptop noticeably slower
the phoronix benchmark posted in this thread uses artificial loads and doesn’t compare performance against other file systems, just compression on vs off for btrfs
