  • My built-in SD card reader shows up in lspci as an “SD Host Controller”. Since lspci and lsusb should list everything that’s connected, it should show up there. If it’s not there, it is not connected, or idk, it’s broken maybe. Or it’s not listed with a name, just a number. I think the names come from some database of known devices. Maybe your SD card reader is a unicorn and nobody has ever seen it before and so it’s not in the database.

    Pretty sure the main difference is that one puts stuff in a directory called esp (which I assume is a placeholder for the actual directory?), and the other one is put in /efi. That needs to be the path to your efi partition, because that’s where the UEFI expects to find things it can boot. The target is probably redundant, i.e. it defaults to x84_64-efi on Gentoo (maybe not on Arch?) and the id is just a name, you can put whatever there. See man grub-install.

    I have never used the Steam beta or Proton-GE or whatever information is spreading out there to noobs about what they should do, and I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for more than 20 years. Only do this beta or bleeding edge stuff if you have a problem, and a good reason to believe that will help (like people reporting your specific issue is fixed in beta). Or I guess if you’re bored out of your mind. And expect other issues since it’s fucking beta.
