Hi, all

How do you install a demo from steam, i have strugling both in steamdeck and mint.

Currently to test some games in desktop i have the work around of install under windows (the library is shared between linux and windows steams).

But in steamdeck i dont have a microsd with windows.

Thanks

When i click in download, it said that there is no version for my OS as i can't assign a compatibility layer beforehand.

I'm running the same game library for the games, alongside other HD in NTFS, for about a year and until now, no problems.

You need to enable proton for all games. It's in Settings>Compatibility.

NTFS doesn't support the permission structure used by linux, so while it can work, when set up correctly, your system has to do a bunch of extra processing on top.

Not to mention that both NTFS modules available, take a performance penalty in general.

Ext4 also handles defragmentation much better.
