Is NTFS viable in a HD for linux games and flie sharing between Linux and Windows?
Alternatively, see this guide for a more secure method to use NTFS and Steam: - https://github.com/FizzleFuze/SteamNTFS/blob/main/README.md

Can I share Steam games files between Windows and Linux? So that I would not need to install same games twice.
Yes, you can use games on an NTFS drive. Here are the instructions. It's not too hard, but you need to do a bit of terminal fiddling.

If I move to Linux, do I need to buy all my games again
You have to properly configure your NTFS drive. It's not too hard. Valve does officially support this for Proton, but the first link is a better way of doing it. It also works for Linux native titles, but really there's no reason to put them on an NTFS drive. Keep in mind, if you reboot between Windows and Linux, you should move any games with native Linux versions to your Linux drive or else Steam will try to redownload the games for their respective platforms every time you switch.

Help needed! Can't play Proton games
you can use ntfs storage , here's the procedure i use to run my games from an old windows ssd : link , i have had zero luck trying to install games on a ntfs drive through lutris. Also to be noted that steam's beta update detects all drives that are not ext4 as well.

The actual migration step of migrating.
For migrating your Steam Library, you can just use the one you have now for the most part. Steam has never done anything fancy with the library, you just add the folder and it'll detect it. If you don't have another hard drive or partition that's formatted as EXT4 to copy them over to, you can mount NTFS with the right permissions to allow it to work. EXT4 is faster and more stable, but this works as a short-term solution, and a solution that allows you to swap back to Windows and keep your games. However, I would recommend moving games that are native over to a Linux partition in that case, because otherwise they will redownload every time you swap between operating systems, and most developers don't set up their depots optimally so you will redownload the entire game rather than just the executable portions.

STEAMOS, uses ext4 for the SD card. Problem for those dual booting with windows 11?
Steam & NTFS: The More Secure Way
- Unable to launch any Windows games from NTFS drive

Proton seemingly randomly stopped working.
Hey, I tried following the link you put before posting this, but to no real avail. However, I tried this link you put in another reply, and games will actually open now!
-
Games stored on alternate drive won't launch.
Just want to add, there's a better way of doing this. Rather than forcing permissions across the board, just using the permissions option tells ntfs-3g to create a little file to track Linux permissions in. More secure and more stable that way.

Cant get battlenet to work :(
Hey! So I'm a new linux user and wanted to try and get battlenet to work so i can play a bit of wow classic. Ive looked around on on other post like this and first tried getting it to work with lutris. I installed the drivers and wine compabilities from https://github.com/lutris/docs and easily got battlenet installed but after i close it (before logging in) i cant start the program again. Lutris just gets stuck on the launching icon. I then installed bottles and tried launching it from there and the login screen just pops up and closes for barely a second. After running it with bottles the terminal shows a few errors posted below. I really have no clue where ive gone wrong but ive been stuck with this for hours so any help would be incredibly appreciated

Lutris (Linux Mint, Wine)
Making sure you are using the latest version of Mint (21.2 as I write) is key for the next piece - you need to enable 32 bit libraries and install the vulkan and wine dependencies to make things work well. This is the wine link and this is the drivers link. If you are not running the 21.2 Mint, the warning on the drivers page is there for you - you need to manually fix a file after adding the kisak ppa on 21.1 to allow the 32 bits vulkan and mesa to install.
