  • Steam can download precompiled binaries that’s suitable for any system it they exist. If you turn it on, they’ll also collect shaders from you for others to download (not P2P).

    It’s often said in r/linux_gaming that you no longer need shader precompilation, though without giving any reason. In my experience turning it off doesn’t have any performance penalty. But games with baked -in shader compilation will take 10 minutes to do it themselves on every launch which is annoying af.

    Questions about the user:

    1- Their docs says it may be risky to run the app as root. Is the root in the docker container same as root of the host? I thought it was root but only in the container, separate from the host root’s namespace.

    2- And in terms of volume ownership: if I’m using Docker volumes instead of bind mounts, do I care about that? I haven’t had an issue so far.
