I'm planning to dual boot Pop!_OS on my main gaming rig. I've got a lot of games installed on different drives through Windows, mostly from Steam, and Windows is on its own drive. Do I need to redownload my games for Linux, or can I use the ones I've already installed?

It's possible to use your existing games if they are on an NTFS partition, but be aware that NTFS can be a bit tricky for running games on Linux, especially with Proton. To avoid complications, it's better to install the games on a Linux file system if you can. That way, you'll have a smoother experience.
Thanks for the tip! I actually have another question: How does gaming work with anti-cheat systems like BattleEye for titles like Rainbow Six Siege or Battlefield? I've heard that some games don't run well on Linux because they can't handle secure boot. Is that still an issue or is it just for certain games?
