1. What’s a PFP?
2. What format are you uploading them in?
3. What app are they generated with?
4. Do they also look corrupted on other devices you may have handy?

Yeah…this seems like OP is doing this in extra hard mode, and there are simpler ways to handle the problem.

Unless there is a mapping between a UID of a user across many different machines (something like a domain controller), you’re not going to be able to set proper permissions by user. You need to use a generic group, or provide global read access at a minimum.

I’m not 100% sure why you’ve chosen this route, but there are MUCH simpler ways of doing this that don’t involve VMs and NTFS volumes.

At this point, you’re butting up against 3 levels of nested permissions, including the VM. My suggestion would be to make sure all the files on the NTFS volume have global read access, then go into the VM and attempt to set NTFS permissions on the files (they are different). If that becomes too tedious, you could just try setting 777 on all shared files. It’s unsafe, but may get you through until you find a more…workable solution for what you’re doing here.

I think the overall solution is to just not need this Windows VM, so look at moving these sites off to Nginx or something ASAP.

Nothing in particular. They all seem about the same to me. Check top rankings on GitHub perhaps.

It blocks on all the major engines. DDG included.

Whatever, guy. This is just another approach to shit people do not want, which is a copy of the same shit people don’t want from Microsoft. If it ends up being used, it’s going to be by select corporations, and secure government entities.

This one feels more geared for developers, but it works just fine. Used it a couple times: https://github.com/phase1geo/Minder

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.

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?

What are the apps, exactly?

Windows IS a horrible OS at the technical level. It seems okay-ish from a non-technical perspective. Everything just below the surface is absolute junk. There’s a reason it’s the most exploited piece of software in history.

MS already has their own Linux distribution…

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.

Remove old entries youve created with this tool, or grow that partition.

There’s no reason you should have a ton of different boot entries to snapshots.

What hostility? Are QUESTIONS hostile now?

Jesus, we’re all so cooked…
