Bazzite Running Super Slow Off of External SSD
Hi! I'm running a GPD Win Mini and wanted to just test the waters with Bazzite to see how I like it without completely wiping my system first. I installed it on an external SSD (a SanDisk SDCZ880-128G-GAM46), but it's running incredibly slowly. Games download at a snails pace and the initial install/Steam update also took forever (something like 2mb/s) I made sure in Windows it worked just fine, and it does get the rated 400mb/s just fine there. It's plugged in over a USB4 interface as well. Is there some kind of setting in Bazzite that's detecting it's running off of USB and handicapping the speed for some reason?

sounds like a bottleneck with either the ssd, cable or the enclosure controller (this is why we dont really recommend booting bazzite from an external drive, because there is so much that can make it a bad experience)
