Hi everyone, I just finished writing a guide on everything you need to know in order to game on Linux. It covers Proton (Steam play), using Heroic Launcher (with Wine-GE), and all sorts of tidbits and tips I wish people had told me earlier. I hope this can be useful to someone out there!

I’ve tried this also. It works alright unless you write files in Windows, it will set the UID to the Windows SID. WHen you use a Steamlibrary and move back and forth, games that are updated in Windows can give you permission errors in LInux, etc.
It’s all workable and definitely an option, but WinBTRFS has a performance overhead, and the dualing permissions made it not a perfect solution.
Yeah I remember having permission issues that were easily fixed with chown but they were hard to notice. I haven’t booted to Windows in over a year now so I must’ve forgotten lol.
