Recently, Valve released an official version of Steam for Linux. The first problem I faced was changing the location of downloaded libraries, as Steam downloads all content to the HOME folder by default.
To change the location of Steam libraries, you need to log in to your account after installation, and then close Steam. After that, the Steam folder will appear in the /home/USERNAME/.local/share/ directory.
Next, move this folder to your desired location, for example, a mounted disk:
mv /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/ /media/ntd/games/
Then create a symlink to the folder:
ln -s /media/ntd/games/Steam /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam
To verify, open Steam settings via Settings > Downloads + Cloud, click the “Steam Library Folders” button, and you will see the new directory.
