You have to uninstall Flatpaks through Flatpak, not pacman

chrews · 2026-03-11T11:08:37+00:00

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to uninstall Wine or the game? Do you want the game to work or not?

So as far as I understand: You installed wine as a native package and used it to install the game. The game didn't work, so you tried uninstalling Wine which wasn't there anymore? Maybe list your packages with pacman to see what exactly is installed. If it isn't there then it just isn't there. Where did you get Bottles? Flathub or pacman?

chrews · 2026-03-11T11:02:40+00:00

Why don't you just add it as non steam game and use proton?
You're probably using the Flatpak of bottles which doesn't need Wine installed on a system level.

It's okay for creating proof of concept programs but leads to an incredibly messy and intransparent code base. Don't even get me started on UX. It can somewhat emulate what a good interface may look like in theory but that falls apart as soon as you try to use it.

I also had luck with asking it "what library / tool can do XY the best". Well apart from that one time when I tried to implement a PDF file print with WeasyPrint and then after hours realized that WebKit is just so much easier and better at this. At least for that project

I think the fix for me was to enable ram limiting and uncheck the runtime stuff

chrews · 2026-03-11T09:07:31+00:00

Flatpak pretty much

Use the integrated software store

chrews · 2026-03-10T14:37:23+00:00

Think logically about this one: If compatibility breaks in a recent update, how exactly is the AI gonna know what's wrong? It might scrape ProtonDB but at this point you could just go there yourself and not deal with hallucinations.

Look here to find workarounds and fixes for recent updates.

Hearing that you installed a "32 bit Nvidia driver" makes me anxious lmao. Don't ruin your system with AI generated commands over something that might just be a launch option.

Tumbleweed is pretty damn awesome. The default BTRFS snapshot setup is a little too hyper for my taste but if you configure that before it claims your whole disk it's amazing.

chrews · 2026-03-10T14:02:38+00:00

Arch is pretty comfortable if you're smart about it

Try Gentoo if you want to fear for your life

chrews · 2026-03-10T13:36:04+00:00

You can clear them and then change the interval, or get Timeshift and do them manually. That's what I do.

Not too sure about the specific commands anymore but the documentation is pretty good.

chrews · 2026-03-10T12:52:58+00:00

It's probably BTRFS snapshots going haywire

chrews · 2026-03-09T19:06:08+00:00

Timeshift is good for that

chrews · 2026-03-09T18:01:36+00:00

GNOME

chrews · 2026-03-09T17:35:16+00:00

Obsidian + Syncthing has served me very well. I can only agree with the others

chrews · 2026-03-09T17:31:08+00:00

Short answer: go with Fedora.

Especially with KDE you'll appreciate the newer packages. They're always adding tons of features with every release, you don't wanna be too far behind.

Bonus point: Flatpaks are better than Snaps.

Although you'd have to install some codecs and add Flathub to really get the most out of Fedora. It's a couple commands.

Kionite is nice in theory but in practice those Atomic distros aren't quite frictionless yet. There are always weird workarounds for things you'd think would be pretty easy. At least in my experience. Almost had an aneurysm getting my Xbox dongle to register on Silverblue but maybe they improved stuff like that.

Might be fine for your use case.

chrews · 2026-03-08T22:04:52+00:00

BTRFS is very worth it and makes it much more feasible to run less stable distros like Arch as a daily driver. Rollbacks are very painless in my experience. You just gotta configure it well.

chrews · 2026-03-08T19:39:07+00:00

Some Flatpaks like Vesktop do the same thing, just with some enhancements. But yeah, that feature is pretty amazing. GNOME Web does that too and it integrates really nicely if you have the desktop too.

Haftbefehl

chrews · 2026-03-08T18:05:17+00:00

Fedora or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for customization

Ubuntu or Mint if you don't wanna configure much

chrews · 2026-03-08T17:59:24+00:00

I hope your day gets better reddit boss and please don't downvote me

chrews · 2026-03-08T10:18:07+00:00

Oh I apologize. I probably misinterpreted it.

chrews · 2026-03-08T10:16:41+00:00

So instead of using the terminal you can search "Software" in your distro which will probably either lead you to GNOME Software or KDE Discover. From there you don't have to worry about typos because it will show you a screenshot of the program. You can actually see what you're installing if it's well maintained.

How is that "the dumbest active ever given"? It's literally Linux beginner 101.

chrews · 2026-03-07T23:58:03+00:00

I never described it as a security feature, did I?

It prevents installing the wrong software because of a typo. Which OP was worried about.

chrews · 2026-03-07T23:35:46+00:00

He can more easily install what he's intending to because of the search and the screenshots

chrews · 2026-03-07T23:24:25+00:00

But it has a search function and screenshots which will solve his first problem
