Store Steam Library on Nas Server
By default steam library will be installed to your home directory when installed on linux. Unfortunately my drive only 128GB, not enough to install most AAA title. Fortunately I have NAS server with large storage. It would be nice to put game library on this server. That way I can share it between linux and windows (hopefully). How To Create NFS share on your NAS. This is an example of my configuration. It can only be accessed from ip address 192.168.88.10 (my desktop pc). "/mnt/md0/games" 192.168.88.10(rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) Mount your NFS share into local directory. You can use mount command or add entry on your /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab # ... 192.168.88.2:/mnt/md0/games /home/zackad/Games nfs defaults,noatime,users,exec 0 0 Make sure that you add exec at the end of option, otherwise steam will complain about your mount missing execute permission Open steam Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folder

How To Run Windows Game with Vanilla Wine on Linux
What Gaming on linux getting better and better in the last couple of years thanks to Steam and project like proton. This is my take on how to play windows game that doesn’t available on steam or some pirated version to try before buying. Ideally I would use proton to run windows game/application but I can’t make it work. Proton/steam always complaint about execute permission on mounted disk. I store most of my data on NAS server mounted with samba or NFS. Whatever tweak I use, steam wont recognize it as valid mount. I can’t even use my mounted NAS as steam library folder. This force me to ‘sacrifice’ litle space on my local drive to be used as steam library folder. Fortunately by using wine I can run whatever application/game stored in whatever directory/network mounted share.
