How to rename drives
Hi there, I've got a fresh install and my SSD is labeled as "bazzite-nvidia-open_fedora" and I also have a 2nd hard drive which is labeled "1.8 TiB internal drive" how do I change this so that they are just simply called SSD and HHD,
I've managed to get a steam library working on both drives, but the hard drive appears to be a folder within my ssd, which is rather peculiar?
Many thanks for all of your help, I apologise for having two questions within one post.
Also steam recognises the secondary hard drive as a external drive, which is peculiar any help on this also would be greatly appreciated.

You can probably just change the device labels. Assuming that you are on KDE. You can just open KDE partition manager. Unmount the "1.8 TiB internal drive" and change the label of the drive to HHD. Chaning the label of "bazzite-nvidia-open_fedora" is a bit tricker since you can't do that while the drive is mounted and you can't unmount your main drive. So you could probably do that with any linux distro that comes with gparted (e.g. I use Linux Mint for that sort of thing)
thank you for your help. i havent managed to get it to work. do you have any ideas on my other problems.
such as steam registering the hard drive as an external drive
Follow the auto mounting guide in the docs, https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives/ you should be able to mount the drive where you want to be mounted and then use that drive for your games. Note that only ext4 or btrfs work properly as secondary drives for Steam on Bazzite (and linux in general as there are some work arounds needed to get an external ntfs drive working, hence ntfs drives for Steam is unsupported in Bazzite)
