Are previously downloaded Steam games transferable from Windows to Linux? (reddthat.com)

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?

No problem! By the way, if Linux version of a game is broken (you'll encounter those), or if you want to use Proton regardless, set a Proton version for that game before installing and you can restore your backup without downloading anything.
