Maybe share an exFAT partition? Is the support of exFAT on Linux any good now?

  There is 'native' support in Kernel 5.4 which doesn't require any extra drivers. The other driver I've used before that is userspace so can be a bit slower but works fine.

  If you're intending to use Proton, FAT filesystems aren't recommended as they don't support symlinks or certain important filename characters like ':'.

    I don't understand the last part. : is not a supported character on Windows at all. Windows games should not expect to be able to access file names that contain it.

      Yes it is, the colon is NTFS syntax for alternate data streams. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/streams https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/stre...

        1) The colon is part of the syntax to access alternate data streams, i.e., it is not an actual part of the file name. In the same way that \ is not a valid character in file names, but it is used to delimit folders. 2) I seriously doubt any game uses alternate data streams for anything.
