Moving games/partiton over to Linux

[Lilninjsways]

I want to move fully over to linux after thinking about it for a long time... but i dont want to re download my whole like... 3 tb's of stuff over again since... well... its 3 tb's of downloading

 

 

 

 

 

Ik this isnt very helpful but im in the middle of stuff right now as im typing this

3TB if porn, well that's some dedication.

As I am reading the Ubuntu has migration tool already integrated into the installment soooo no need to do something else rather than taking your time to install it.

It isn't.

If you want help, take the time to put in a full help post, and we'll take the time to give you a full answer. Right now we are working with nothing, so the best I can say it "yeah, it's doable"

What system are your games using?  Steam, Origin, itch.io?

 

If Origin, you will have to install via WINE and then https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/origin/origin/backing-up-and-restoring-your-origin-games/

Thank you.

 

I know Steam can be transferred over, just copy the directory (I've done it before) and I assume the others are the same, you'd have to google to be certain.

 

HOWEVER....

Are you certain Origin and Blizzard are linux compatible?

You will. WINE is viewed as "cheating" software....it's a false positive to be certain, but you'll get in trouble all the same.
