Hello lemmings, I’ve once again come for your advice. I’ve built a sff system with a dual boot bazzite os. This will be mostly for my kids playing games and media serving from Big picture in the living room. I’m trying to figure out the best way to set up the accounts. Ideally it would be as close to a console experience as possible but I want to make sure each kid can save their own progress. What’s my best option here? Does everyone need their own os account that signs them into steam properly? I’ve never set up a system for multiple users before.

Edit: details

    Try looking at what Steam offers. I know that it can handle multiple accounts but I have no idea how annoying it is.

    If you do go the route of multiple system accounts you should put the steamapps folder somewhere else and link to it from each home folder so that you won’t have to download the games more than once.

      Not annoying at all. You can log into multiple accounts at once and steam will ask you which one to use on every start.
