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 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.

          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.

      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.
