Install a demo from steam (steamdeck and desktop) - eviltoast

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

    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.
