Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1690583737
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs:
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have my library in three directories, all on the same partition on the same disk.

  • Steam's default one: ~/.local/share/Steam
  • One for Linux games: ~/Games/Steam/Linux
  • And one for Windows games: ~/Games/Steam/Windows

When I go to install a game all three are simply listed as /home, so I've had to memorise their order to place games where I want them. This is also reflected in the Settings > Storage window.

It would be useful to show more information in the path.

This issue has existed since the new client released. I don't remember it being a problem before.
