Thanks for the answer. Yeah there are external nvme drive enclosures, fairly cheap ($30), usually have USB-C port on it, comes with C to C and C to USB-3 cables. Nvme drives dropping in price , I just picked up a 2Tb for $99. Connect the enclosure to a USB-C port, data transfer rate is pretty fast. sam

Trying to clone a 1Tb nvme (in a system) to a 2Tb nvme in an external enclosure. Enclosure can connect either USB3 or USB-C. Have tried both, external is seen in BIOS using either, Clonezilla never sees it, 3 or C. Does the external nvme need to have a partition on it to be seen by Clonezilla? sam

found the culprit AMDVLK 2021.Q4.3 . Downgraded it to the Q4.2 and everything works again. This driver and the gamemode unlock the performance of my 6900xt card. I just add gamemoderun %command% to the start options of the game and the 6900xt runs great. Without gamemode the card stays in a reduced mode.

Downgraded all the Mesa, Xorg, Vulkan packages but still does it. The 3 games I play in Linux are PGATour2K21, Perfect Golf, and Pinball FX3 and they all do the same- show I'm playing but are never on screen then my status goes to Online. sam

After running the updates on 12/21/2021, any Steam game I try to play shows it's loading, shows that I'm playing it under my name on the Friends window but never loads on the screen and then the status under my name in Friends goes back to Online. Also in Pamac, Preferences there is no text in any of the boxes. Not sure if all this is a Vulkan issue, GTK, ? And the XFCE desktop takes about 10 seconds to load (but has done that since switching from an nVidia 2080ti to the AMD 6900XT back in June)...

So after finding out the kernel after 5.7 seemed to have issues with that Intel NIC I removed Salient from my dual boot. A few weeks ago I decided to put together a dedicated Linux PC and used a Ryzen 5 3600 and an MSI motherboard that uses a Realtek NIC. Runs great, no speed issues at all.
