I’ve backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?

    Yup, you’ll be fine. If a game has a Linux version though, you’ll still need to download some portion of it. By the way, just don’t use NTFS to play on Linux.

      In my experience it works perfectly fine as long as you perform the steps outlined here, as per Valve’s official recommendation. The section about preventing read errors is particularly important, but the whole thing is worth a read.
