    It’s best practice to keep it separate, and that mostly just has to do with how the different file systems are handled.

        There is an installable btrfs driver for Windows. No idea how trustworthy it is, though.

        And yeah, accessing Steam games on an NTFS partition from Linux is a recipe for permission issues. Just don’t.

          Yah. I split the drive so we will see how it goes. But memory is cheap. I’m not messing around with game saves that could possibly take away hours of my progress.
