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?

@beesterman @lightnsfw What?!? I run games using proton on an NTFS partition just fine...

If you do this it's safer to use lowntfs-3g so everything is forced to lower case... And yes using a proper linux filesystem is way safer.
