From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Install Steam games on external drive (feddit.it)

How can I install and run Steam games on external drive? Because I tried to format the drive in ExFAT, NTFS and btrfs (the same of my machine) but with a filesystem I can install the game but it doesn't start at all, and with another I can't add the drive as other location on steam

Mhhh as btrfs it should work. The only thing I noticed is the you have to stop steam connect your drive and restart steam for it to work properly

My iscsi drive needs a bit to connect so I start steam 30 seconds later after login.
