I’ve been having random issues playing games (various) while downloading games to my SD card.

For example:

I’m downloading Mass Effect Legendary and wanted the game to continue to download in the background on my SD card. I play Cyberpunk 2077 for a bit, and after about 15 minutes the deck crashes and restarts.

I then tested the opposite, playing a game on my SD card while downloading a game to the SSD. Same issue.

Anyone else seeing this? Could be a bad or failing SD card. It takes ages for anything to write to it. I have reformatted it in the past and disabled WiFi Power Control under the dev settings to try to “fix” the hills and valleys while I install games on it over 2-3 GB.

    I’ve had serious issues with KDE freezing or being slow on desktop in the past, it’s part of why I swapped off of it. I think I did have a failing secondary SSD at the time, so you could be on to something. Gnome worked a lot better on that PC than KDE did at the time, although I eventually dropped both for Hyprland.
