Last time I downloaded factorio it was ~300MB. I think you'll find entire Linux distributions including mesa + Intel and AMD GPU drivers fit in 600mb of data.

Yeah, sure they're large. And they're a lot smaller on Linux. But 600mb is not "multiple GBs".

I say gbs because (not checked recently) they were cached so your nvidia driver folder would be 10s of GB in size. For a driver!
