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 here, with zsdt:3, on my game data the compression ratio is a bit worse than that, but it does save some space to my surprise.
with default btrfs zstd compression here, i save a whole 2 percent on game install directories…but 48 percent elsewhere (trixie kde, ~ 2800 dpkg + flatpaks. ‘documents’ are on a diff filesystem)
