How do I mount a NTFS drive for use with steam?

[FGD]

@Fierro

the way they mount by default seems to not allow me to modify files

And what way is that?

Would this work? Steam Support :: Installing Steam for Linux on an NTFS Partition
Also some other assistance here Ntfs-3g driver must be used in fstab to properly mount NTFS format drives

@Fierro

I found were people saying not to use ntfs, which isn’t really helpful, and only a handful of people saying they got it working and vaguely explaining how

Maybe there are good reasons for that, then. But let’s first see what the above URL does (or doesn’t do) for you.
