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.

Which v1 bottles are you talking about btw? The one that comes with your distro?
The biggest benefit to the Flatpak version is that it supports sandboxing of your prefixes. This means that your system is protected somewhat from any malicious Windows programs. It also means you don't need to worry as much about missing system library dependencies.
v1 bottles are you talking about btw?
The one linked. Seems they maintain two versions of Bottles, a legacy one and the latest one.
I don't know since I've never used it, but if you're looking for an alternative that might take up less space, take a look at Lutris. It seems to be packaged in a decent amount of distros.
(If you can't spare 5GB though, I would really advise you to upgrade your storage or clean out some junk... Wine prefixes themselves aren't exactly light on storage either)
My home folder has a lot of space so wine prefixes aren't so hard on me. It's my / that I have problems with
You fudged up partitioning, reinstall. No reason to have a separate root in 2023.
What I fudged up was not giving my root enough space. If i don't have a separate root, I risk wiping out my home folder whenever I reinstall since my root is btrfs and my home is ext4. Reinstalling newer versions of Linux Mint is easier this way.
