For example, I just purchased mass effect legendary edition in steam in mint Linux.
I also have a Windows computer Windows 10, if I installed steam onto the Windows 10 computer and logged into my steam account. Would mass effect legendary edition show up there? I’m asking here rather than trying it , which sounds kind of odd, Because my Windows 10 computer isn’t working really well right now so it’d be kind of a pain to make the test myself.
The second half the question is, if I were to buy a steam deck, would my steam purchase of mass effect legendary edition show up on the steam deck?
I realize this not a Linux specific question, But I wasn’t sure exactly where to post it out.
When you buy a game on Steam, it’ll show which operating systems are supported. You should be able to install and play it from any of the supported OSes (it’s not locked to a particular version).
Thank you
As long as you purchase the game (or more specifically the license) from the same Steam account, it will be available regardless of the operating system.
Thank you
Yes. You just won’t be able to install Windows games, until you enable SteamPlay.
Why the double down vote in this comment? Is it wrong info?
No, technically it’s true. To play Windows Games through Steam on Linux you need to enable SteamPlay for most titles.

Afaik SteamPlay is enabled by default for certain games certified by Valve.
Yes, the games are tied to your steam account. You should be able to login to the steam account you purchased the games on, download, install and play those games on any devices that are supported. Some games are Windows-only, but with wine and whatnot, some of those games are playable on Linux. Some games have extra DRM which might prevent you from playing on unsupported (usually non-Windows) systems.
Thank you
