hard drive permission issues
mornin.
i have been using Warp terminal (great help to me btw) to help me find a memory leak... that didnt work at first cause i had just restarted... and it didnt work when the leak was active cause it had gobbled up al of my 16 and the system just locked.
then i decided to have Warp help out my hard drive issues... slow read write speeds copying from one nvme to another, files not saving and generally not being able to access drives...
So i had it try run a smart test.
In the end it came up with this:
"After several troubleshooting steps, it appears we're facing a fundamental permission issue that prevents access to the NVMe devices, likely due to the environment we're running in. Here's what we've discovered:
1. We confirmed the presence of two NVMe devices (/dev/nvme0n1 and /dev/nvme1n1) using nvme list
2. We're running in a non-systemd environment (possibly a container or WSL)
3. Both smartctl and nvme commands are failing with permission denied errors, even with sudo
4. SELinux is not the cause as it's not installed
This suggests that the environment might have restrictions that prevent direct hardware access. This is common in:
• WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environments
• Containerized environments
• Environments with certain security policies
To resolve this, you might need to:
1. If using WSL, access the drives from Windows directly using Windows-native tools
2. If in a container, ensure the container has the necessary privileges (--privileged flag) and device access
3. Run these commands on the host system directly
4. Check with your system administrator about any security policies that might be restricting device access
Without proper device access permissions, we won't be able to perform SMART operations on the NVMe devices in the current environment."
I formatted the drives during the installation with the utility on the ISO and I am logged into an admin profile.
Any human brains around with an idea what I did wrong?

copying files on internal drives is very slow
I have 2 512GB internal nvme drives and i am trying to copy come files over in dolphin.
the transfer speed caps out at 1.5 MB/s.
is there any way to speed this up? I am no programmer and try to avoid using console ... that just makes my head melt...

can i move a bazzite installation to another drive?
i have been using windows since 3.1 and finally had enough. So I'm trying to switch to bazzite.
after a weeks trying to download and i dont know how many download restarts i set up a dual boot with Bazzite on a USB ssd and windows on my internal drive in my alienware laptop.
after running dual boot for a couple of weeks the windows boot sector got borked so now I want to instal Bazzite on the internal drive.
unfortunately the stick I had my ISO on is now corrupted as well and I dont seem to able to complete another download.
Is there a way to just migrate the Bazzite installation from the USB drive onto my laptop?
