I’m new to lemmy and linux, been daily driving Ubuntu 23 for 2 months and had nothing wrong happen, when I went distro hopping, witch I won’t ever do again, everytime I tried to mount a steam apps folder it wouldn’t show my apps, idk if this is a bug but I’ve gotten it fixed by creating a steam folder then copying all my games and placing them into the new folder, but if I click on the repair folder it would create a new one and completely brake it. Anyway i just wanted to share my findings, I hope this brings more light to someone who has this exact issue :)

    Did you go into your Steam settings and add that location as a library? Steam won’t find those automatically when you mount a drive, you need to add them.

      Yes, I just today had to move my games again into a new steamapps folder idk why it keeps corrupting the file path, this is what makes or brakes linux, silly little things that are a pain n the arse. Anyway I’ve fixed it but idk if the fix will last, it’s like a leak
