So I had heard (on a totally different forum) that there are changes made to some of the core of Steam games so if you install them under Windows....you cannot play them under Steam. With a good amount of work I got a Linux partition for games loaded up and accessible. But when I ran Steam, it had the Windows partition loaded up and said I couldn't remove it from the list of install locations. Okay. I set the Linux side as the default under Linux and then I went to install the programs that were on the Windows side.
My first game I focused on was Satisfactory and saw it was already in a queue for update. Along with the update it also installed Proton and Sniper so I thought why not and ran Satisfactory. I had to install the UE requirements (.NET framework and C++ library) but it ran without issues!
So it looks like Steam has advanced things to the point that you can run your Steam games under either side if in a dual boot environment. Now if only we can run Ryzen Master and the Graphic software under Linux!
UPDATE: If you are new to Linux and you have a similar setup, then you need to define your game library to be mounted at bootup. This is how you do it (at least on Ubuntu/Mint distros)
1) Mount your game directory
2) On Mint I run the application Disks
3) Select the volume you mounted (name will be the Nvme device name not your share name!!!)
4) At the bottom right you should see two icons one a square the other linked gears. Choose the linked gears and a contect menu will pop up.
5) From the context menu select Edit Mount Options...
6) This part was confusing for me at first. At the top is User Session Defaults which is on by default. Turn it off.
7. Now you have a checkbox for Mount at system startup just make sure that is checked and then click OK. Behind the scenes it does all the SUDO commands to make that effective for you.
Best yet with this process it does not require editing a system file or creating your own mount point. You use what the system created and every
