Wait, why not? I've been doing this for a few games so I can play on Linux or boot to Windows and play there if I need more reliable remote play or better performance. I haven't had any major issues, just annoying occasional proton reinstallation when I'm in Linux.
Wait a minute, Proton didn't shit the bed when you run games off of NTFS? Did you happen to set permission masks or smth?
@MyFairJulia wait, you can run games from ntfs drives with linux? what ntfs driver is recommended for that? is ntfs3g broken? I'm asking because each time I try to do something like that, I do get permission issues, as you say. Worse, each time windows would make a file, the linux side would come up with a permission error when trying to access it. That's why, I don't use ntfs stuff anymore at all
