    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • From what I understand there is a way to allow proton to work with ntfs drives but ive read that it can cause data corruption and cause issues. I have tested it and it did work but I would personally recommend having a second hand storage device formatted to ext4 for playing your games in linux. The process for transferring your games is very simple. I always just download a small game such as astroneer so that my drive I want to copy my games to has all of the necessary folders created for the transfer. Then I just copy my games to the steam apps common folder on my linux drive and click on the download button for every individual game after the copying has finished and steam will auto recognize the files and update things as necessary. Here is a link to the ntfs fix that I used but use at your own discretion if you choose this method. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows . Best of luck my friend!

    WinBtrfs - an open-source btrfs driver for Windows

  • You can either have linux btrfs partition or an external btrfs partition, personally i would go with the external since the windows btrfs drivers are open source, then you install the btrfs drivers on windows and reboot and now it just works, windows will automatically mount all btrfs partitions https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs
