There is the same problem on reddit, so they brought it here too so new users won’t be disoriented (/s)

I read on the github that there is a registry key to set to fix this problem

Did you symlink the compdqta folder um don’t remember it’s been too long…

Also I heard winbtrfs in windows isn’t as stable as ntfs3 in Linux :(

I’m trying to share stuff between the os because I lack so much space (500 Go for Windows + nixos + my old fedora silverblue parution that still has data I have to clean) fortunately I’m soon upgrading to 1To but I’ll probably fill everything again in a fews months 😅

ah too bad, I thought I finally had a solution for the lack of storage… I’ll probably do it anyway just in case I need quick access to one Linux game but the rest of the time I’ll keep them on the ntfs

Ah I wish I read that sooner, when the ntfs3 driver was released I moved my games to an NTFS partition, i don’t remember precisely but some wouldn’t work, and then unlike my ext4 or btrfs partition which were unbreakable, a lot of things became unreadable and undeletable after a forced shutdown. Probably my fault, but in any case i think it’s not worth the hassle. I only had games on it fortunately so didn’t lose anything significant

…and now I’m planning on making a btrfs partition for my games and using winbtrfs to use it on windows as well, probably another bad idea but I wanna do it so badlybadly

EDIT: Yup, it was a bad idea, sometimes getting blue screens when trying to empty the trash on the btrfs

You might want to look into Firejail, kinda complicated to setup but it’s made for this.

I think chroot could achieve this too but I don’t know how secure it is

I recommend NOT using Manjaro, they have many issues, most described here: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

for someone who wants an arch-based distro without tinkering too much there are other alternatives like endeavourOs, and I think Garuda too.

For someone who wants something that looks like windows, no need for Manjaro, just something with a desktop environment that looks like windows. I’d recommend Linux Mint, very simple to use (and for low end computers there is the XFCE edition), or distributions with KDE (fedora KDE, Kubuntu…) or maybe ZorinOS.

edit: also nobara Linux (based on fedora)may be good for games, they have a version that kinda feels like windows
