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.

    That makes sense, thank you! How can I clear up space in it?

      You can’t, it just part of how Fedora works now. Maybe Fedora should patch Dolphin to take /sysroot into account instead of /

      You don’t, it’s the immutable root partition. You probably need to find the point it’s trying to write to and link it to a location it can write to.

      Note: I’m still a newbie to atomic desktops too.

      How are you trying to install Calibre? Is it via Flatpak? AppImage?

      Did you try it from here? https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

      I’m guessing that that method won’t work with atomic distros. I’m guessing that it’s trying to copy files to an immutable spot.

      I would try looking for a Flatpak first.

      I was going to suggest the portable one as a backup but that’s only for Windows :(

        Appreciate the response, I updated my post but I “fixed” this by changing Calibre’s temp directory.
