A program will not fix it. The problem is shader caches need to be stored. Storage costs money. Who is going to pay to store all of them?

Maybe it could be like a P2P system but that would add a whole lot of complexity!

    Weird, but I found it a super interesting read. It made me think of Home Assistant as one of the only software that I could think of that uses a toggle button from the top of my head. I think it handles these states wonderfully.

    Edit: The big one I rarely see. But, either one seems quite intuitive.

    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.

    Idk why you insist on it being a psyop, but you do you. I tried to find an android device that had hardware support for H.264, H.265, and others and it's not much there. I believe Firetv 4K does but then you are getting a more locked down android with a bunch more ads.
