Hello, in my new installation of Fedora KDE one of my internal SSDs appears as removable:
This does not happen on other distros i’ve tried.
Here is the output of lsblk:

nvme1n1 is the disk in question.
/sys/class/block/nvme1n1/removable says it is not removable.
How can I make this not appear as removable?
A hacky way to fix that is to make that device your user home directory. If the device contains your user home or root directory, it won’t be removable.
I’m looking through the code now. It looks like it’s getting the device list from multiple sources and the
fstabsource might be losing the race to something else.[1]fstabdevices aren’t removable.https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/solid/-/tree/master/src/solid/devices/backends?ref_type=heads ↩︎
