Can it pre-load shader cache like steam games does? Because that’s a big plus to running games on the higher half of the graphics demand side. Otherwise you’ll still need games to be steam in order to get the best performance.
Yeah. Good point. The problem I see with that is that SOMEONE has to store the shader caches that you download. With some games, it’s megabytes and some games it’s gigabytes. Also, the shaders are different for different hardware configurations. Who is going to not only store, but share all of this data when only a small portion of people donate to FOSS? Steam, gets a portion of the sale, and moving people to Linux is a far sight goal that they are monetarily incentivized to help towards.
