Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems
LoreSoong@startrek.website 3 days agoIve tried this and the linux proton seems to overwrite the games data everytime i launch the game breaking it and forcing a reinstall. I found that the best way is to simply have a drive formated to ext4 or ntfs mount it in both linix and windows and have seperate folders for linux games and windows games. Kinda jank but it works

Ugh, that sounds like a pain. My current drive set up is:
#3 is blank so I was just going to install linux there, but also I have ~1.8TB worth of games installed from windows onto #4 that I’d rather not have to try to also install onto #3 and keep them separate. Installing dupes on #4 is equally bad, so of the two I think I’ll go wtih just installing games for linux on #3. Thanks for the advice.

Be careful dual booting off a single partitioned drive ive heard windows likes to fuck with linux installs boot files overwriting them on win updates. Might just be best to put linux and its games on #3

I don’t have room on #1 or #2 to install linux, so it has to go on 3/4, and I’d much rather it be on its own drive, I can just create a second partition for the games if single-partition is a problem.
