I recently switched to Linux as my daily driver and had this same issue. Unfortunately you have to download through the Linux steam client you can’t run any games previously installed through windows.
I ended up corrupting my windows game drive trying to force it.
You can, you just need to make sure you run ntfsfix to remove the write hold windows puts on NTFS drives. See my other comment
Appreciate you taking the time to share a technical fix, but I figured I had a spare drive an unlimited fibre plan so path of least resistance won.
AFAIK the NTFS hold doesn’t help with trying to share a Steam install folder anyway, and Valve recommends not trying to share a single directory like that.
