I’ve backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?

    In my experience it works perfectly fine as long as you perform the steps outlined here, as per Valve’s official recommendation. The section about preventing read errors is particularly important, but the whole thing is worth a read.

      Might be useful for dual-boot users or the people in transition, but doesn’t worth the hassle for exclusive users. However it will still cause some problems one way or another because it’s just a workaround.
