  • No advantage over, say, ext4. I mentioned it because it is a good filesystem and bazzite chooses it by default so you probably have it. Also it has the best name.

    You can check if compression if enabled by checking the contents of the fstab file (cat /etc/fstab in the terminal). It will say something like compression=zstd. It will likely be enabled.

    There is no disadvantage to having compression on. These compression algorithms are designed to be used on the fly and are very fast. The overhead on a mildly modern system is imperceptible.

    Whether you get mileage out of it is another matter. At a previous job I saw 20% reduced space usage on a postgres machine. On my laptop however the same stat is just 1%. It depends on the kinds of files you have.




  • For audio and video content NTFS will work alright.

    For games you should use a linux native filesystem like ext4 or btrfs. Bazzite itself will warn you about this if you plug in an NTFS drive.

    The last tried I installing fitgirl was years ago and it did not work. I have seen people on reddit say that her installers work under proton but I have never been able to replicate it. I have taken to downloading pre-installed repacks or clean steam files and cracking them myself. On cs.rin, repackers like rexagames or astralgames will post suck repacks. You are supposed to just unzip and run these repacks. There is a significant downside to this that these repacks are not usually distributed via torrent so you need to download them from file hosting websites. But it works at least. I have been pirating the shit out my steam deck this way.
