I use family sharing and want to use a different family members account on my Steam Machine in general, but when i use it would like my own account, how is the experience for user switching?
Does the same game need to be installed twice? Is it quick to switch or do you need to authenticate each time?
Anyone using their Steam Machine or Steam Deck like this? Family sharing or not.


I’ve run into a single issue that I found a note: if multiple people are playing the same game, and that game uses cloud saves, and writes saves to a specific place in the home folder, and that place is not scoped to your steam user, it’s possible to see and overwrite each other’s save games, which can result in your cloud saves getting stomped by each other.
