Hello Garuda
I just downloaded Garuda gaming kde edition I have two ssd drives one of 500gb the other 250gb when I Garuda is installed on the 500gb drive. When I had Windows 10 once downloaded the game you choose to save for in C o D you can choose on which drive you can save the game and it launches from that drive if you want to play it, in Garuda how do I do that if want to save to game on the other drive I have ?
Hi @Batman222
Please provide us the output of garuda-inxi after running it on terminal

without this no one will be able to help you here in the forum
Welcome to the forums.
Please, follow the template and trying doing a simple web search before opening up issues. More so if it isn't Garuda related. This isn't a general support forum for software. This would be more suited to be on Steam's forums.
That being said, I think what you are looking for is in the steam menu > settings > steam library folders (button). There you can add drives and manage steam library.
For spare storage drives you use on Steam for games, it is usually recommended to use the ext4 format on them.
Please if i just want to save the game in the other drive for example in steam when using windows it automaticaly picks up the other drive and you can save it there while in linux and garuda in steam you only see the actual drive when garuda is installed is there a way in order to both drivers
Make sure the other drive is listed (correctly) in fstab. It will then be automatically mounted and available after you reboot.

Some help
On KDE, there are two ways to detect drives when booting; A. the FSTAB way talked about above, or B. This is the easiest option. You can go into System Settings > Removable Storage > Removable Devices and check the login options on the drive. In the past, this way was not recommended because it was wonky, but KDE has ironed it out, and I have used it for a few years without issue.
After completing step 1 above and seeing your drive in Dolphin, go into Steam and set the default install drive in Steam's settings.
Have fun.
