Are previously downloaded Steam games transferable from Windows to Linux? (reddthat.com)

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?

So currently my backups are on my media server which is ext4. These would be moved to my gaming system when I wanted to install them. I would just need to make sure that was formatted in exfat for this to work?

No, in that case you're fine. Exfat is really only good for shared drives. Just use the default of your distribution.

That makes sense. Thanks
