I used to be a huge fan of GOG with the whole DRM free thing. But their poor Linux support just drove me to Steam. They promised a Linux version of their launcher for years. The request has 14,000 up votes. But they still won't create a Linux version. I honestly don't particularly care about the launcher, it's just the fact that Linux is not a priority for them.
Combining that with the lack of GeForce Now support I've basically gone to only using them for older classic games.
Heroic is a pretty good launcher for GOG
Yeah it's not that it's hard, I'm just going to give my money to a company that supports Linux.
You can turn off preshaders, check the settings
You wouldn’t happen to know where exactly? Steam can be a maze.
I love steams game metadata. I wish I could enable it for non steam games. Regarding shaders - I turned off precaching as it was taking gigabytes of space that I needed. I haven’t noticed a difference in game load time compared to my friends who still have it enabled.
It's supposed to prevent stutter or freezes caused shader compilation during gameplay. The effect on load times is minimal.
I doesn't matter to me. But I do have all of my games (steam, gog, epic, etc) and emulators organized into steam with custom art work. Just so everything is in one place.
Steam overlay and controls is turned off though. I could care less about achievements too.
What made you choose not to care any less about achievements?
How do you turn off steam overlay and what does that do?
Overlay is the screen that pops up when you press the "home" button on your controller. It's just an extra layer of processing going on for no reason.
You can turn it off in steams setting, and/or in the properties for each game.
