I have a laptop with a 128GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. I want to install steam and its games on my HDD, since it has more space available. The problem is, I actually CAN install games on my HDD, but when I click on them, though, they won't open up. I think that's so because I am using Steam Play and every Steam software that is necessary to run Windows games on my machine is being automatically installed on my SSD. So, to fix this, I think the proper solution would be installing Steam on my HD, but... how do I do that?

Just for the record: I do not know if this information is relevant, but my SSD is formated as NTFS, because I came from Windows recently and I do not know if it is required (or how) to change it.

Install Steam using the default path (which is ~/.steam), move the directory later and put a symlink instead. This way you don't have to customize anything and you also can do that any time after the installation.

Be sure Steam is not running when you move the directory:

cd
mv .steam /somewhere/
ln -s /somewhere/.steam
