From Windows 11 to Linux, need help!

Recently, I built a new computer with two hard drives: one for the Windows system (which stores approximately 3 games from the Steam library, as these games do not support Linux), and the other for my Linux gaming system. Previously, I used Bazzite to play indie games on my old computer, and my partner and I could collaborate. But recently, when running Garuda, after moving from a small SATA SSD to the new NVMe solid-state drive, I encountered problems. So I switched to CachyOS Plasma.

Need help!

Thanks.

    To run this in a Linux terminal:

    sudo pacman -S linux-firmware

    Update the firmware and check if the NVMe driver has been loaded.

    You previously used Bazzite to enjoy indie games and collaborate with your partner, which worked well on your old system. However, after switching from a small SATA SSD to a new NVMe SSD and moving to Garuda Linux, you encountered issues that disrupted your gaming experience. To resolve these problems, you switched to CachyOS Plasma, hoping for better stability and compatibility. You're seeking advice or solutions to address the technical issues caused by the drive upgrade and Linux distribution change, especially to restore or improve your gaming and collaboration setup that was previously smooth with Bazzite.
