    The NTFS warning is a little disingenuous. I wouldn’t recommend people go with it if they’re choosing Linux only obviously, but I’m going to say with years of personal testing about 99.9% of things work just fine using an NTFS drive. I think it’s been years since I had any kind of issue with game data that I attributed (and maybe falsely) at the time to the NTFS filesystem.

    In steam you’ll need to symlink your compatdata folder to a linux filesystem, but that’s about it.

      I don’t even symlink compatdata and haven’t run into any problems. The whole NTFS thing is wild :D

        Interesting. I wonder if the difference is you’re mounted with the newer NTFS3 driver, where I’ve stuck with the NTFS-3 fuse one for stability.
