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?

    I’m having the same behavior on Mint with an NVMe M.2 drive as well. It feels like an expression of the fact that on linux any drive can be mounted and unmounted at any time as long as it doesn’t contain critical system files. It’s just that way imho
