[QUOTE="RHOPKINS13, post: 10316951, member: 155990"] It's probably worth noting that most distros include some sort of partition manager GUI that may not be named GParted. KDE Partition Manager and GNOME Disks both work great, without needing to add additional software to your system if you already have one of them. When I first got my Steam Deck, I used BTRFS to share a partition between Windows and SteamOS (Steam on Linux has issues if you try to use it with NTFS). I used a symbolic link to map my steamdata folder to a folder on the BTRFS partition. It worked, I could install a game once, and play it on either Windows or Linux. But there were all sorts of issues. Some games would load on one OS and not the other. I could use Steam to "Repair" the game and get it to run on one OS, but then it would fail on the other one. At the end of the day it wasn't worth it. So many of my games run flawlessly on SteamOS now. I now have my Windows partition down to a 256gb NTFS partition, and the rest of my 2TB SSD is for SteamOS. I might boot into Windows once a month, but for the most part it goes unused. Anyway, I'm not sure why using a symbolic link would be preferable to managing this through Steam's UI? [/QUOTE]
