A note is that if you do the "compatdata" symlink from the above link that you may as well do the same for "shadercache" and that if you do, exFAT may in fact also work for the purpose after all (the symlinks then redirect those folders onto a proper filesystem) but -- untested.
Finally note that if also the above is seen as "zillion gotchas" that you are not the type of person that can use Linux.
LOL - I have used it exclusively as my daily driver for I don't know how long. My point is - since I have created a separate partition - you would think at this point this would be a common use case and I wouldn't have to dig around creating symlinks all over the place. How about "import library from X" - now wouldn't that be simple. Don't know - I don't write the code for steam.
All I want to do is make it so that Steam doesn't keep trying to redownload stuff. Right now, I have a partition that both systems see (although it is exfat) - BUT - it keeps trying to reverify and redownload games.
I'll try the NTFS partition - right now I am trying this with one game that does not take long to download.
