Hey everyone, I'm a newcomer to Linux and I've been struggling to get my Steam games to run properly. I have an SSD where Linux is installed and a separate NVMe drive for my games, both formatted as ext4. However, when I try to run games like Monster Hunter World, they either freeze after the Capcom logo or crash entirely. Interestingly, I got Dark Souls: Remastered to work by moving it to the SSD, though the performance isn't great. I really want to get this sorted so I can keep my system disk clean. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like your NVIDIA drivers might not be set up correctly. Try installing them through the driver manager if you haven't already. You can check if they're working by running `nvidia-smi` in a terminal; it should show your GPU and driver version. If you find they're not working, it could be due to Secure Boot. If you’re not dual-booting, you could disable it. Otherwise, you might need to sign the drivers yourself. Check the Ubuntu wiki for steps on that.
I ran `nvidia-smi` and got a message saying it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver, even though I thought I set it up in the manager. I think I’ll try disabling Secure Boot to see if that helps.
