I’m looking to try out Linux, but I don’t want to have to re install all my games for it. I’ve got a 500 GB boot drive, and a 2tb where all my games are. I’d install Linux on a 250 GB partition of the boot drive. ty all :)

    Yes, linux can work with NTFS drives with no issues. Just make sure to disable fast boot on windows (and check after every windows updates, those bastards will change your settings sooner or later) to make sure it shuts down properly and doesn’t leave the drive in a dirty state.

    Then just point steam to the same folder as on windows and it will pick all your games up. If you start one, steam will create a proton prefix to make it run on linux.
