For some reason Calibre won’t let me do anything because “drive is full” which I assume has to do with this.

Update: I believe I “fixed” the error with Calibre by using FlatSeal to add environment variable CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR that changes the Temp directory to something else. So far that’s the only program I’ve seen give trouble.

    How’d it get full then? And if it’s supposed to be 100%, any ideas on how can I get Calibre (so far the only app I’ve noticed that is giving trouble) to ignore it?

      It comes full from the first boot, because you’re not supposed to be able to write to it. That’s kinda he point of an immutable distro

        Got it thanks, I think it’s weird it shows up in Dolphin this way but at least I know what it is now.

          Yeah, I get that. But also, the root mount point is a valid partition, and it is full, so it makes sense why it shows up that way.

          I think a lot of the confusion is letting go to old habits and knowledge that don’t exactly work with the new system. In still going through that a lot myself (and will probably be making my own troubleshooting post when I have time), but it’s always good to experiment and see what you can learn.

          Best of luck friend!

        Calibre installs fine (flatpak). I updated my post but I was able to change the temp directory which “fixed” it.
