I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running raspian. Overall performance has been pretty good but I haven't used it a ton. On the NVME drive topic, I was just trying to install Linux on a friend's laptop last night. Clonezilla could detect the NVME drive but three other distros couldn't. I tried Mint, Ubuntu, and Fedora. Didn't try lsblk. Most of the posts from initial research suggested BIOS settings such as RAID, CSM, and fastboot being the most common culprits. This is an Asus (don't have the model number handy). I disabled fastboot in the BIOS and didn't see CSM settings and wouldn't expect RAID settings on a laptop. I'm also thinking if it were BIOS settings, clonezilla wouldn't see the disk either. Wonder if it's a driver issue perhaps.
