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.

    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.
