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.

In theory this problem is already “solved” with torrents.
