Running Steam Games on an NTFS Partition

If you want to store Steam games on an NTFS partition in Linux, follow these steps carefully. NTFS is not fully Linux-native, so extra precautions are needed to avoid game launch issues.

Requirements: make sure to have ntfs-3g installed:

sudo pacman -S ntfs-3g

1. Edit /etc/fstab to mount the NTFS partition with proper permissions. Open the file:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add this line (replace the UUID with your drive’s UUID):

UUID=266EA8206EA7E731  /E  ntfs-3g  uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0

Then mount it:

sudo mount -a

2. Set ownership for your user (replace bruno with your username):

sudo chown -R bruno:bruno /E

3. Move the Proton compatibility data to a Linux-native filesystem (to handle symlinks and permissions properly):

mkdir -p /home/bruno/SteamCompatData
mv /E/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata /home/bruno/SteamCompatData/
ln -s /home/bruno/SteamCompatData /E/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata

4. Run Steam normally. Your games will now launch from the NTFS partition, while Proton stores compatibility data safely on your Linux filesystem.

⚠️ Note: NTFS is not fully supported for Linux game libraries. Some games may still encounter issues. For best stability, use a Linux-native filesystem (ext4, btrfs) if possible.
