      Only if you have another place to hold it temporarily.

      You can’t really install linux onto an NTFS drive. So you have to wipe the NTFS partition and start over with something like EXT4… that will kill the games.

      Can confirm you can just move the game files to your Linux steam library to avoid redownloading

        That might help. Sadly I don’t have enough raw space worth of thumb drives. And I’d do a full install of Linux, no dual booting.
