    I mean I’m glad I don’t have an active mail client on my PC but honestly this shit might be what makes me switch to Linux for my gaming.

      What has stopped you so far?

      I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. I’m a long time exclusive Linux gamer.

        Seconday drives not being picked up in steam made me switch back to windows. Is that plug and play now?

          Not sure what problems you had. I am using a secondary drive for steam for years now on xubuntu. I think they even get re-added automatically now if you started steam before you mount the drive.

            I believe in both debian and Ubuntu you must mount an external drive to a folder on the main drive. This didn’t work my default and took a bunch of command line edits to work. Perhaps xubuntu fixes this or steam has improved.

              I don’t really understand your problem, but steam automatically recognized my external hard drive. In addition to that, it also recognizes my network attached drive and I can just load games from my nas.

                It might have to do with exfat drives. My drives were internal but I didn’t want to format my mass data drives. Maybe it was an issue with my hardware config. I don’t know. Either way it wasn’t working.

                  I might be misremembering, but I think there was a time when you had to install something for exact to be recognized by the system.

                  I think we are past having to do that now though.
