After watching the manjaro gaming video, I chose to install manjaro and try it out. I’ve never played games on Linux before—I mainly use a laptop with Ubuntu, like a Chromebook (no system tasks, everything runs in the browser). The issue is now my 128GB SSD, while my games are stored on a 1TB HDD. When I switch the download directory, I’m confused about what to do because there’s no C, E, or D drive like in Windows. How should I handle this? Cheers.

Locate the files containing df in your terminal, then use Steam to access that directory.

I possess two 2TB storage devices—one external labeled "Other games/files." The WD Purple isn’t present, and accessing the disk manager is difficult since it keeps misreading data I previously overlooked.

Check your directory using your file manager. If possible, paste the path from the path bar here.

cd /run/media/manjaro/Other games_Files
This assumes the directory is already mounted, likely on an internal drive.
