I’ve backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?
Thanks. I don’t mind dling some additional stuff I just would prefer to avoid the bulk of it.
No problem! By the way, if Linux version of a game is broken (you’ll encounter those), or if you want to use Proton regardless, set a Proton version for that game before installing and you can restore your backup without downloading anything.
