Oo! That's definitely a gotcha. Good tip!

I once heard that the trick to this is you need to let Steam "update" every game before you switch OSs. If it doesn't get to finish this, it will bork. That's also highly impractical I feel though.

So yeah on my dual boot Linux is for making things and doesn't see my main Steam library. Win10 is just for games. :p

EDIT: Win11 or 12 won't be a problem because I'm confining them to a VM for only the most stubborn situations, and doing everything including gaming with Linux. :D
