I can’t install the latest version of Bottles because I don’t have space on my PC to install Flatpacks (it’s like 5 GB!). I can however install the currently maintained version of the v1 Bottles. But it isn’t clear to me how it’s different from the latest Flatpack version. And I did try searching it but I got nowhere fast.
Perhaps someone can tell me how this works?
I don’t know since I’ve never used it, but if you’re looking for an alternative that might take up less space, take a look at Lutris. It seems to be packaged in a decent amount of distros.
(If you can’t spare 5GB though, I would really advise you to upgrade your storage or clean out some junk… Wine prefixes themselves aren’t exactly light on storage either)
My home folder has a lot of space so wine prefixes aren’t so hard on me. It’s my / that I have problems with
You fudged up partitioning, reinstall. No reason to have a separate root in 2023.
What I fudged up was not giving my root enough space. If i don’t have a separate root, I risk wiping out my home folder whenever I reinstall since my root is btrfs and my home is ext4. Reinstalling newer versions of Linux Mint is easier this way.
