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?

    I had this happen shortly before I had an SSD failure. How old is the drive? Check the SMART health if the drive is capable.
