Often when downloading a game on steam my nvme drive gets pinned at 100% IO usage and my whole DE (gnome) can lock up at times. Is there a way to limit it so that this never happens?

    If it’s just steam you can limit your download speed. But 100Mbps is already pretty slow. Is your SSD throttling or failing? Or is the non cache write speed just really that bad?
