Note: ~/.steam/steam is generally a symlink to ~/.local/share/Steam or wherever that equivalent folder is installed (I have seen on some installs that it was in a different location... not sure if it was something I did unintentionally -- like copying the profile folder -- or due to the distro being used but the symlink seems to be consistently correct for me. for instance, on my LMDE-4 pc the symlink points to ~/.steam/debian-installation instead of ~/.local/share/Steam)

@Michael Butler - Sorry for the late response. I noticed while playing Darksiders 2 under Fedora that it would continue using Cloud Saves even after I turned them off (for the game and later for all games). I suspect that Steam may not be disabling cloud saves correctly under Linux (or at least not in some cases). The workaround I used for DS2 under Fedora was to delete the remote game folder (~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/<gameid>) then recreate it with root as owner and set its permissions to 500, preventing steam from reading/writing to that folder.

Thanks for the good answer; I'd like to point out that I'm on Linux but using Proton for Witcher 2, and my saves are found in /home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/userdata/1011216/20920/remote despite the fact that I have the game installed on a separate SSD drive. Even after disabling steam cloud sync it looks like it continues to save there and only there.
