Plug an external disk and create a new steam library there, then move all your games to the new library. Now you have a portable library you can take with you on the go. Install Linux then add that library to the Linux Steam client. Now you have all your games back (including cloud saves).

Wow that sounds amazing. Would that work to hook up to your steam deck as well?

I don’t own one, so I can’t say from experience, but it definitely should.

Would likely want to do this over a dock because of power consumption. Dunno if it would actually turn it on without it, someone else would have to comment on that
