Also new here. So from what I can tell. You really shouldn't mix a windows steam library with the Linux steam library? Correct? I mean to avoid all issues. I have it running in a separate space.

    It's best practice to keep it separate, and that mostly just has to do with how the different file systems are handled.

    There is an installable btrfs driver for Windows. No idea how trustworthy it is, though.

    And yeah, accessing Steam games on an NTFS partition from Linux is a recipe for permission issues. Just don't.
