Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark in c/games@lemmy.world
[โ€“] sabertooth36@startrek.website 3 points 7 months ago (5 children)

I've tried playing Steam games, but my hard drives are all NTFS and the Linux (Mint) partition is exFat, and it seems like they don't play nicely together. Since i don't want to move all my steam games to an exFat partition, I'm holding off on switching. But until I get around to overhauling my storage and go single drive, I'm gonna stick with Windows using as many FOSS apps as possible.

Endowments are allocated to different programs and resources, and frequently are hard-locked to what they were donated for.

Plus the illegal and punitive defunding was based on entirely made up bullshit and should be loudly rejected so other universities have more of a will to fight and not bend the knee to the fascist regime

Help Figuring Out Storage (Noob Question) (startrek.website)
 

Hi, I've been thinking about switching from Win11 to Linux Mint due to Microsoft collecting lots of data. My current setup has been cobbled together over the past decade and consists of a C drive NvME, 1 old SATA SSD, and 2 HDDs. I have games installed across all of the non-C drives, some from steam some not.

Windows tells me each drive by letter. I installed Mint on a virtual machine to get a look, but it couldn't read any of my files. I don't want to wipe my C drive without knowing that at least the other drives will be readable if I make the switch.

How does Linux account multiple hard drives? I'm so used to how Windows does it that I'm worried about switching over and losing access to my other drives. Thanks!
