Steam games NOT launching at all no matter the proton version
I just installed bazzite as I'm over windows and want to try Linux. I'm completely new and I think I got everything working but no game on steam launches at all. How do I fix this??
MNTFS is not supported, install games and dependencies (proton, steam linuc runtime) to a linux filesystem
AI can't since I'm dual booting with windows also
ASurely there's a way to play games on Linux while dual booting
AOtherwise what's the point
CWinBTRFS
CIt will do for a game drive
CIt is finicky on the Windows side though
AI have a Ntfs drive with 3 different partitions. One with windows, one for bazzite and the other with some games and important files
AIdk what that is since I'm completely new to this
CNTFS is a Windows file system, it's not meant to be used in other systems
AI only want to use windows for video editing and games where Linux just won't work like fortnite
CThe NTFS support in Linux barely works, it's more so meant for convenience, not for day to day use
AIs there anything I can do to game on Linux without sacrificing any drives?
AI want to start using Linux and learning it but I don't want to wipe everything
CDual booting from the same drive also isn't recommended, Windows Update might nuke your bootloader
AWell I don't have any empty drives
CI'd recommend setting up a dedicated drive for Linux

AI followed this guide
AHow can he game then
AWith an NTFS drive
AMakes no sense
AAlso apparently helldivers 2 works on Ubuntu with an NTFS drive also
CDon't run games from an NTFS partition, it's really not a working recipe
AWell I can't thoigh
CEverything I'm saying is in the Bazzite docs
Aim not wiping everything if i cant dual boot
Ai dont want to wipe everything just to run linux
Aas i also use windows
CYour best bet is segregated drives
COr backup and wipe
Aall my drives are NTFS formatted due to me using windows also
Ai have a lot of games installed
Aand i have no drives to use to back up
Ai guess ill try a different distro because my friend is on ubutu and can play his games while also dual booting
CIt's a Proton issue, not a distro one
MSince you insisted I'm linking this, I didn't initially because if you use ntfs any ticket you file will be closed.

Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components - ValveSoftware/Proton
AI tried this and it doesn't work
AGuess I'm trying a different distro
MYou will need extra setup on any distro
MCheck compatdata folder on your steam library
AI did the commands
ANo game on steam launches
AIf bazzite just refuses to work for NTFS, I'll just try a different OS, since I know my friend can play games with dual booting
AAnd he's on Ubuntu
MYou will need extra setup on any distro
AIf I can get it working, I'll see
ABazzite just doesn't work for me
AEven when I did the commands
