Got it thanks, I think it’s weird it shows up in Dolphin this way but at least I know what it is now.

Calibre installs fine (flatpak). I updated my post but I was able to change the temp directory which “fixed” it.

Appreciate the response, I updated my post but I “fixed” this by changing Calibre’s temp directory.

You were correct, I believe I “fixed” the error with Calibre by using Flatseal to add an environment variable CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR that changed the Temp directory to something else.

It’s not in partition manager actually!

Not clear, the “drive” doesn’t show up in partition manager.

That makes sense, thank you! How can I clear up space in it?

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?

I commented elsewhere, but I do a lot of customizing and immutability has not proven to be even the slightest barrier for me in over six months now.

fwiw I am a power user by Windows standards (n00b by Linux standards) which is to say I tweak a lot of settings and do a lot of customization, and in six months of using Kinoite I have not encountered a single thing I wanted to do but couldn’t because of it’s immutability.

This is an excellent answer. Kinoite (basically the same thing as Aurora) is what enabled me to finally make the switch to full time linux a few months ago.

That makes sense but I just wanted to check. Someone else linked this to me but it appears at least one other open source project works with it https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

Music assistant is indeed cool and can do multi-room, but you have to go to it specifically first.

Yep that’s exactly what I did. The bulbs flashed and appeared to be reset. Like I said the official Hue app can’t even detect them without the serial method.

I am going to figure out Zigbee2Mqtt and see if that works, but it feels weird to install a new addon and migrate everything over when Home Assistant has that functionality baked in. Also like I said even the official Hue App and Bridge can’t detect the bulbs, I need to enter the serial. I was hoping ZHA or MQTT had an “enter serial” method.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot. I was trying to avoid more add-ons and the rest of my network is already configured with ZHA. But like I said even the official Hue Bridge/app can’t discover these bulbs without the serial number method.

ZHA

This is what I did and ZHA couldn’t find it.

My exact experience too. Fedora “just works”. I especially like the immutable varieties for even more “just works (and continues to just works)-iness”
