Fuck I got completely derailed as to what I wanted to ask

Linux experts in the fedi:

I'm struggling with my Steam Deck refusing to make a Steam library on my external hard drive's exFAT partition. It keeps giving me errors about the folder not being executable, but I can do all normal file system tasks in that folder and it is marked as read/write/executable in its properties.

Does anyone have any advice?

This is because fat derivatives including exfat do not support permissions - at all.

Also check the mount options for the filesystem, It could be mounted 'noexec' which would stop you from running any programs stored there.

As far as I'm aware, Steam only supports library folders on EXT3/4 and BTRFS.
Could be wrong, however.

Try with a disk formatted with ext4?
