Be careful with games with both Windows and Linux ports. Trying to change between the two will corrupt the game. If you are trying to install games on an external drive, create two separate Steam Libraries: one for Linux native games, and one for Windows or Proton games

You are not able to set another steam installation as a separate steam library

Or just install native titles to your Linux drive

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:53 AM

And windows titles to the shared one

Make that drive btrfs, and install winbtrfs on windows

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:54 AM

They also shouldn't corrupt, but they will waste bandwidth switching between the two versions every time you swap OS

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:54 AM

At the very least

(on a btrfs drive) When I tried switching from a Linux version to a Windows version on Windows, I got some kind of disk error, preventing me from using the game on windows

This problem didnt exist with NTFS

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 2:55 AM

But obviously, don't use ntfs with a shared drive

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 2:55 AM

As the performance on Linux is bad

And more importantly it's straight up not supported by Valve

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:57 AM

And requires exceptionally shitty workarounds to make functional

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:57 AM

Like you make a support thread and I see you're using NTFS, my answer is no

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 2:58 AM

Spaces, and symlinks as well are problematic too

Honestly much less hassle to just install the Windows BTRFS driver and make the shared drive BTRFS

my issue isnt me needing to switch to X11 as i did that, some stuff will just occasionally completely hang until i use system monitor to terminate. wasnt bad enough for me to make a help request

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 3:03 AM

Also 555 fixes a lot of that iirc

I don't own an Nvidia gpu
