OK, thanks. Please don't send me a second copy of the mail; I'm subscribed to the list. Your image shows that you have three persistent partitions: /dev/nvme2n1p1 - /boot/efi - vfat /dev/nvme2n1p3 - / - btrfs /dev/nvme1n1p1 - /home - btrfs So that all looks like it's been created exactly as you wished. The partitioning is not your problem. I'm sorry but I don't know what might produce messages about HOME not being found, or the reasons for that. Maybe somebody else can help? And I never use KDE :( PS BTW, if your computer has network access then using that to copy files to another machine that has email might save you having to take photos and post images.
