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
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.

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.
You need to set a default compatibility tool for games that don’t have one. I don’t remember exactly where to find it and don’t have access to look right now, but it’s not really hidden in the settings menu.
THanks!! that is!!
I don’t know it even was a thing :)
I had the same issue once. I suspect that whatever version had been the default was removed for one reason or another, even though I never manually remove them.
