Quoting: minidouHas Shader Pre-Caching been broken for a few weeks ? My Steam updates almost every game every day for a few MB (I figured it is shader downloading since it used to look like small updates).

You probably just didn't notice. Steam used to remove the shader downloads from the list after they were done, but since the download page update they remain there.

Quoting: minidouI still don't understand what a user is supposed to make of "Steam Linux Runtime".

Not so much right now. Although it is already useful for getting games like Dying Light to work properly.

The whole idea is to give a stable runtime environment to the game developers where you don't need to care about what distribution is the game run on, or that upgrades to the system would break something. It is essentially a Linux compatibility layer for Linux to address the main argument a lot of people have against Linux - fragmentation.
