One weekend I decided to check out "journalstl" and saw a very strange error that I didn’t even notice

Log:

Dec 27 20:35:48 archlinux kernel: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not re
solve symbol [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.PRT0._GTF.DSSP], AE_NOT_FOUND (20240827/psargs-332)
Dec 27 20:35:48 archlinux kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PC
I0.SAT0.PRT0._GTF due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20240827/psparse-529)

since I am a perfectionist, I need to find someone who can help me with this
please help

Re: ACPI error

In general, those are harmless and are a result of manufacturers considering their firmware to be 'Good Enough' if they can get Windows to boot -- specifications be damned. There is not much you can do if your computer's design team did not care.

You might be able to fix this by playing with your DSDT, but I'd assert it is not worth the effort.
