[Linux mint] Can't add library folder outside the drive steam is in
When I try to add a steam library folder in the download settings, there is no dropdown menu to select any other drive. The drive I want to set it in is mounted, the issue isn't there.

Well the solution I found is that when you install a game, in the dropdown for the steam library selection, you can create a new library folder on another drive.

On Linux everything is a file.

Yes your drive does not appear in the Steam library maps window. You have to browse to the location where the drive is mounted which will be somewhere on your root filesystem.

Open a terminal and run the command lsblk. It will give you a list of all drives and their mount points.

Your drive will most likely be mounted in /mnt/sdX, use the file browser to navigate there then add a new Steam library folder in this location.

Though now I'm having another pissue: I can't write on that drive. Basically I have three drives: one main partition for windows, one for Linux and a data one that I want to install games from both OS on. And I can't figure out how to make my linux able to basically use that drive besides read-only

Lemme guess the drive is partitioned with NTFS? Yes that will not work properly.

Linux only has read support for NTFS.

If you want write support you will have to install NTFS-3G.

do you think that if I reformat the drive so it has something like a FAT file system so that both Linux and windows will be able to read and write will work?

I don't recommend using FAT.

FAT32 has a limit to 4GB files which can cause issues with some games and programs. And exFAT is too slow and lacks modern features of other filesystems.

It would be better if you made a seperate partition for both Windows and Linux.
