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 add the folder as a steam library? Mounting it does not make steam detect it. This is true on all OSs steam supports.

    Hmm? Mount? Explain in details the steps you’re taking and then maybe we might be able to understand your issue and help you.

      Well I’ve fixed it but it’s these types of bugs that really put off a windows user like myself off of linux, having yo look through a very small part of a website 10+ years ago to find a solution, I can go on, I just wanted to give some light on the situation, and yes the drive was mounted hardware is 100% in working order and is new hardware talking SSD everything just saying before someone says that it’s hardware related
