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 is your / (root) partition. You can’t write to it because Aurora is an atomic & immutable distro.

    Source: I use Aurora & Bazzite.

      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!

      While true, why are you linking this comment in almost all the other comments? They are not incorrect, it just makes you look like an ass.

        I’ve been stuck repeatedly asking myself this question ever since reading your comment 😩 Please be careful about throwing infinite while true loops around! Now I need someone to Ctrl-C me.

    This is completely unrelated to your problem:

    The calibre website recommends extremely strongly against using their software packaged by anyone else other than calibre themselves as they are often (see usually) buggy or extremely outdated.

    It may be worth it to manually “install” the app from their website somewhere in your ~/.local/ and see if you have less issues using the official package.
