    I’ve recently installed Linux. Have a hdd full with steam games (for windows) Is there any way to get that to work without needing to format the drive and install the games again? Looked a bit at it but every article seems to suggest formating the drive to get it to work with proton.

      It’s technically possible but not recommended as the NTFS format has some quirks under Linux. Give yourself the best chance at everything working and do full reinstalls after a format.

        “Has some quirks” is putting it mildly. I had a couple of drives that I thought were dead because I kept getting errors. I reformatted them to ext4 and they were fine.
