Yeah, so where are you seeing that I’m somehow making them a cohesive situation?

Then you’re not understanding what I said. Can’t help you there.

Edit: are you confused on what the word “or” means, perhaps, or is it the Oxford Comma?

I’m not sure what you’re thinking is nuanced. They’re complete separate and distinct ideas.

As others have pointed out, I think you should read the context of what OP is saying.

Had, then lost. Thinking about a lost time. Literally the title.

You’re just describing a subjective way to process feelings.

All the catches

Essentially, you’re just describing a feeling of “Better Times”, or nostalgia. Nothing wrong with that, and everyone has those feelings.

It becomes a problem when people tend to fixate on that, and not realize that time has passed. Not that you can’t create those conditions and feelings again, but that life circumstances and everything else really make it impossible to replicate that same thing again realistically.

I think it may serve you better to focus on what about that situation made it great for you, and what practical means you have to create a similar social circle again that will approximate those same feelings. It won’t be exactly the same, of course, but it sounds like you have just been feeling somewhat lost without a similar group of people around you.

I’m saying I don’t think there is in this case. I’m not sure what the use case would be simply because you could use any other tools for this specific job.

It’s like asking for an “offline browser” in a sense.

Just use NocoDB or a spreadsheet or something.

Go to “game options” for the specific game, then look under “Wine Prefix”. That should let you point to a specific prefix.

WineGE is old and dead. Don’t use that. Some other things:

• You sure the game is set to Fullscreen and not “Borderless Window”? There’s a big difference.
• Try to ALT+Tab once in and out of the window to see if it snaps back into focus.
• Try Wine 10+ instead. Perhaps a regression was fixed
• Try Proton instead of Wine if using Lutris. Works fine on Deck.

Offline first for online content? Whoa buddy, where’s this Moon you’re asking for?

Seriously though, you need to be realistic when you’re asserting your wants for a service or tool. Everyone builds tools to sync bookmarks and save lists now, because that’s a feature that users want. It’s going to be difficult to find something that is “offline”.

Try using a memo app maybe? Lots of password managers have the ability to save links, and would technically be “outside” the browser if you want them to be.

Yup. Same with any other as well. If you don’t want to use Steam, I think a lot of people find Lutris and Heroic simple.and functional for all levels of user, and they also include the ability to run Steam Runtimes and Proton versions pretty simply too.

All of these launchers run Wine under the hood, and are a good abstraction on top of that entire stack. Just makes it super simple to manage.

TLDR: use a prefix manager instead of plain Wine

You can install them anywhere, but if you’re using plain Wine, I’d suggest you instead go with something that will manage these locations for you.

Each Wine setup has what is called a “prefix”, which in the simplest sense is just a folder that is setup like a Windows C:\ drive, and includes all the shared libraries and bits needed to run the game. When a program run is launched, it is locked into this prefix, so when it goes looking for files as it would on Windows, it’s going to find a familiar folder structure, including installed dependencies like MS VC libraries and DirectX stuff.

Now…when you as a user are just using Wine directly, you’d generally be using the SAME prefix to install multiple games, which is hard to manage, and just clunky.

Prefix managers like Proton, Lutris, Bottles and even Heroic will make a new prefix for EACH program, making things like troubleshooting, switching runtimes, or invoking custom configs per program a LOT easier.

It’s a Flatpak. Did you give it proper permissions to use this hardware?

“Does a Shit Sandwich taste better than a Turd Burger?”

Nobody cares.

Fuck this loser. We have enough issues to deal with on a daily basis. We don’t need to subsidize your fear of having wasted ungodly amounts of money and becoming irrelevant.

That’s a YOU problem, fool.

du -hsc /boot/*

Then what’s taking up all the space? If you want the tool to work, then grow the partition to get past the space limitation. Simple as that.

Oh no…anyway
