Interestingly enough, installing games from Epic via Heroic Launcher DOES properly compress on install. Steam is doing something that somehow bypasses compression when it's installing.

I believe that I saw elsewhere that the way steam downloads the games would block the compression. I can't seem to find it, it was something along the lines of Steam reserves the space, then downloads the files, overwriting the reserved space. How the other launchers would probably do it is the same thing, but in a temp folder, then move the file to the game folder. If this is the case, I guess your testing would make sense. Thanks for bringing it up by the way. 😊
I will hopefully find some time to do some testing myself. In the meantime, if you (or anybody else) have done more testing please share here. If given enough info to make an educated decision, I'd love to optimize this repo more. Maybe the best option is to leave it the same but run the defragment and deduplicate commands when your card begins to fill up.

@wearenosotros Could you list the steps for installing compsize on your steam deck? Thanks :)

@NotMinh you'll want to follow the instructions here (note the top comment):
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/t8al0i/install_arch_packages_on_your_steam_deck/
Then you can just sudo pacman -S compsize

(FWIW Trevo I find myself in this thread having the same problem as the OP, but haven't done any further testing yet than they have so far!)
