I believe in both debian and Ubuntu you must mount an external drive to a folder on the main drive. This didn’t work my default and took a bunch of command line edits to work. Perhaps xubuntu fixes this or steam has improved.
I don’t really understand your problem, but steam automatically recognized my external hard drive. In addition to that, it also recognizes my network attached drive and I can just load games from my nas.
It might have to do with exfat drives. My drives were internal but I didn’t want to format my mass data drives. Maybe it was an issue with my hardware config. I don’t know. Either way it wasn’t working.

I might be misremembering, but I think there was a time when you had to install something for exact to be recognized by the system.
I think we are past having to do that now though.
