r/Bazzite on Reddit: Total Linux n00b trying Bazzite: where to install programs?
July 16, 2025 -
Hi, trying to switch to Linux after more than 30 years in the MS ecosystem. And where I consider myself an above average informed pc user, Linux has me stumped. For now.
I have put off using Linux for years, because for work I am heavily invested in the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects etc), but I switched that part of my life over to a Macbook Pro, so now my pc will essentially used primarily for gaming. Hence: Bazzite.
So I got it installed and updated, and wanted to install my first Steam game, but I have no clue where.
Do I go with the default, which is /var/home? Is that the directory to install programs to?
Or can I diversify,like I did in Windows, where I had a separate drive for all my games?
For now I am using a dual boot to get my feet wet, so currently I just have the drive I installed Bazzite on to install programs on.
So: default directory/folder or create your own structure. And, if so, HOW to create such a structure?
Or just wing it and go for the defaults until I understand the OS?

if you want to keep your games on separate drive you can choose it in steam overall linux structure is pretty straightforward in userspace, just go with defaults. There is a path ~/ (in bazzite it is short for /var/home/YourUser/ or /home/YourUser/ in non-atomic distros) where basically everything connected to your user located: documents, games etc. Since you don't need direct access to your steam games they are in hidden folders. You can open ~/ (same as /home/YourUser) and press Ctrl+H, you will see dotfiles like .steam, where your styeamgames are located. Your configs in .config, your flatpaks in .var etc Unless you want to do something specific don't touch those, everything in it's place and linked to applications.

Part of the point of bazzite is to make it easy on the user to play steam games with minimal effort or configuration. Unless you really want to use another drive or complicate the install process for yourself. Just use the default's ;) Same for heroic launcher for epic games store etc or emudeck for emulation. Just let them do their thing. I personally wouldn't bother unless i wanted to use a seperate drive for something.
