Every day NMS has to update. Is this because I run it on Linux or is it just how NMS is? Today it was a 4,6 GB update

I think it's just the game, because I also run Linux and NMS is the only game that does this. No other game that I can think of is routinely downloading relatively large updates like this.

For me, the Vulcan shader pre-caching is different. It is a pop up with a percentage indicator. This is a regular steam update like it used to be on windows.

Interesting. I get the vulcan shader render popups every single time, on all games. But only NMS will dowonload updates like this through steam

Sometimes you see a little (i) icon besides the download item. If you hover over it you can see what Steam downloads

Welcome to Linux. Where you’ll spend more time monitoring and updating your dependencies than actually using the software.

Sorry - that is not true. Actually i have never done that (at least not manually), and don't even know what updating dependencies means. It runs all updates automatically and has not failed once. I have run Linux for half a year, and only used the terminal a couple of times to adjust some weird thing that did not work out of the box. Linux has come a long way!
What took the longest time, was getting to learn new software instead of the usual suspects, like Photoshop and DaVinci

For my two mints, Ubuntu, arch, and various arm instances it absolutely is. Guess you don’t do much.
These people agree

Well i dont know what you need to do with it but as a regular desktop user, it works well out of the box for me. I run Mint Cinammon.
If you do want to make it complicated i guess it can become hairy.
Ps. The links you sent dont link to specific threads at least not on my phone.
