Steam library compatible across Windows and Linux systems
Steam library compatible across Windows and Linux systems
They're distinct yet likely share a significant amount of content. Each should have its own binaries and libraries, but elements like textures and sounds probably reside in the same place. It might seem random at first, but it could turn out to be more consistent than expected... Probably won't be too surprising after all.
There seems to be potential with certain games. It’s unclear if anti-cheat systems would reject additional Linux binaries. On Linux, creating a list of typical files wouldn’t be difficult.
The binaries differ yet the visuals remain the same. The visuals make up about 90% of the content.
Yes, that explains why I’d want to download more files on Linux. But likely not everything, which is why this point matters. At least NTFS means something specific, like FAT32 or HFS+—not just any format. "Steam drive" simply refers to having Steam games on it. Does that imply a hard drive packed with music? Honestly, I think the term feels a bit awkward but it makes sense. That’s what I’m considering.
I would have two folders on a USB stick. I’d place small items like FTL from each OS into separate folders. Create a printed list of files. Organize them into common and unique categories, then you can implement smart actions such as hiding certain files on Windows or generating links in Linux.
