Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to Linux and I'm encountering issues running my Steam games. I have an SSD where Linux is installed and an NVMe drive for my games, both formatted with ext4. Unfortunately, I can't get any games to run from the NVMe drive. The best I can do is get Monster Hunter World to the Capcom logo (very slowly) before it freezes or crashes. I did move Dark Souls: Remastered to the SSD, and it worked, but the performance wasn't great. I really want to solve this issue since I'd prefer not to fill up my system disk. I'd appreciate any guidance! Below are some specs and log links for reference:

- Log for Monster Hunter World: [Log File](https://pastes.io/monster-hunter-world-on-linux-via-proton-ld_preload-error-for-libgamemodeautoso0-prevents-preloading)
I'm using Proton 9 and have also tried the experimental version and a few others (like 8 and 10_25 GE).

I had a similar problem and found out that disabling Secure Boot really helped. It's one command away and then you only need to enter a one-time password. Make sure to check the Ubuntu wiki on Secure Boot for complete instructions!
It sounds like a driver issue! Your specs indicate that your NVIDIA GPU might not have the necessary drivers installed. Check if you have them set up correctly using the driver manager. You can verify if the drivers are working by running `nvidia-smi` in the terminal. If you see a communication error, it could be related to Secure Boot. If you're not dual-booting, consider disabling it since that often helps with driver issues.
