Here’s my current scenario.

I have a PC with several 2TB m2. One of the drives holds Windows and Nobara Linux.

The remaining m2 drives hold my game library, most of which is Steam and emulation.

Is it possible to mount the m2 drives containing my Steam Library in Linux and share games between Linux and Windows? The drives are currently NTFS.

If so, how difficult is it and are there any potential issues that I may encounter?

    If you have more than 1 GPU available, you can run a windows VM for playing games. You can easily pass the SSD to the VM. GPU passthrough is also pretty staightforward.

    Don’t quote me on this, I may be outdated or just wrong.

    Potential drive performance loss ntfs on Linux

    Strange library behaviour ntfs on Linux

    Windows replacing native linux version with windows version and vice versa if they both exist, downloading every time

    Strange undiagnosable problems

    Anal bleeding

    Peeing diamonds and rubies

    ???

    Profit.
