From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
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.
Nerd joke
break;I've been stuck repeatedly asking myself this question ever since reading your comment 😩 Please be careful about throwing infinite
while trueloops around! Now I need someone to Ctrl-C me.I added a break 😆

Well, I replied to two comments. I was just trying to let them learn the actual cause of OP's problem so they can help others in the future. I am sorry if I didn't follow proper etiquette.
I counted 3 of them.
Problem is that by doing that you are basically telling them "my answer is better than yours". That not yours to decide, and that's the reason you get downvoted despite having a part of what OP was searching for.
Just think of the obnoxious kid that'd boast for having half a point more than you did. You basically did the internet equivalent.
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!
Are you trying to install the Flatpak? The native install probably won't work on an immutable distro.
Calibre installs fine (flatpak). I updated my post but I was able to change the temp directory which "fixed" it.
