Comment on Do you guys play old AAA games?

First you have to reformat/convert to btrfs, then you have to chattr everything, defrag to do a compression pass on the existing stuff. And after all that, Steam does every download and patch with a preallocate that blocks out the online compression, so you have to subvol and anti-cow its downloading folder to defeat that.

Already using btrfs, since I’m on Bazzite, but I think I’ll just upgrade the SSD before I bother doing all that 😂
