  • 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’ve kind of shifted my thinking on all this over the past year. I used to use Arch since I wanted bleeding edge access to features. This would always eventually leads to something breaking, and headaches fixing.

    I’ve since been using pop_os, and moving over to the flatpak and NixOS ecosystems to stay on top of the latest package versions, while having a more stable and tested base. It’s working for me, I don’t worry about my system borking all the time, and I get plenty of new package updates to satisfy that want.
