- Have fun.
For the filesystem, I would recommend checking out this btrfs filesystem conversion for Steam Deck.
I've been super happy with it.
Never new that was a thing. I was gonna just install the fedora based alternative.
It works really well, and it will convert your main filesystem without you having to reinstall or anything.
In addition to compression, it also will deduplicate files and set up a scheduled deduplication process.
How much space gains do you get?
On my SSD, I have 517G of files using only 410G of space.
On my desktop using a compression level of 3 ark with all the dlc and mods went from 300GB to 186GB
