Hello @lavadrop, Steam, running as a regular unprivileged user doesn't have the superuser permissions needed to cause kind of issue and if it's happening indirectly as a side effect of kernel drivers, that's a kernel bug.

This issue needs to be reported and evaluated to your distro's kernel maintainer(s) or to the Linux kernel bug tracker.

Thanks, I'll get in contact with the OpenSUSE developers then.

@lavadrop What model ssd are you using? I am experiencing errors like these (unrelated to steam) and I am trying to figure out why.

Llavadrop 2023-04-21 github

My motherboard was the culprit, not the SSDs.

Mmikkorantalainen 2025-02-12 github

My motherboard was the culprit, not the SSDs.

I'm having very similar issue and various discussions point to either APST (power saving mode implemented by the NVMe drive vendor) or PCIe ASPM (power saving mode implemented by motherboard vendor). Did you figure out if your issue was one of these?
