I have a Tuxedo Sirius 16 laptop equipped with two SSDs. I'm trying to use the second SSD specifically for gaming, but I'm running into issues getting Steam to recognize it. I've already attempted renaming the SSD, but that hasn't worked. Any advice on how to properly configure it? I'm using Ubuntu as my operating system.

First off, make sure to check whether Steam is installed natively or if you're using it through Flatpak. Depending on that, the process might differ. Also, it's a good idea to verify that the second SSD is properly formatted and mounted. Utilize the Disk Utility in Ubuntu to ensure that the SSD is accessible by the system. Once confirmed, you should be able to add it as a library folder in Steam.

Always remember to mention your distro and any relevant hardware details when asking for help! That said, if Steam still doesn't recognize the SSD, try moving Steam to the second SSD instead. You can do this by changing the Steam library folder in the settings. This usually helps with detection issues.
