since youre using it for games, you should set permissions to everyone if it fails to set a label just make sure you unmount it first (right click it in kde partition manager and choose unmount) then label it again but it might fail due to sdcard automount at which case just dont label the sdcard

Yeah it still comes up with a error when formatting to btrfs

ignore the label then, not needed on sdcards and especially not on sdcards in linux the way valve implements it. you will be able to label any other disks though alternative is to move the sdcard to a different system and label it there. but as i said, not really needed in linux like it is in windows 🙂

The problem is emudeck won't recognize the card

you can manually select the destination

I can transfer steam games to it but they won't transfer back to the ssd also

/run/media/mmblk0(or something)/Emulation just make sure you partition it with the permission set to Everyone

Even if it fails its fine?

its the label that fails from the error you showed
brokenwingsx321
brokenwingsx321OP•9mo ago
Or gets a error I mean
HikariKnight

because valves automount of the sdcard kicks in and mounts it before the partition manager gets to set the label

Is this a issue with all sd cards in bazzite or just my particular one?
HikariKnight
HikariKnight•9mo ago
all, its because valve automounts it as soon as the system detects it has a partition
brokenwingsx321
brokenwingsx321OP•9mo ago
Okay emudeck is working now Do I just select steam deck?
HikariKnight
HikariKnight•9mo ago
yes just follow the install as normal
