Try New Technology

If you install a Windows application/program through Bottles on Linux then you may need to know where the files are at. Below is the location (at least on Manjaro KDE and I am pretty sure Steam Deck as well):

~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Winbox/drive_c/users/

When buying a Seagate Exos hard drive you will need to check the status / turn off EPC before using it in an unRAID server. From my reading, leaving EPC enabled can cause the drives to get a S.M.A.R.T. failure because of too many on/off cycles.

Below are the steps needed to check/disable EPC and prevent this potential problem. They can be found many places on the Internet and I just want them posted here so I can look them up quickly in the future.

• Install SeaChest tools CLI
• Launch Seachest from start menu
• Seachest_PowerControl_x64_windows.exe -s (NOTE: to list drives, make note of PD# of drive you want to flash)
• SeaChest_PowerControl_x64_windows.exe -d PD2 –EPCfeature disable (NOTE: replace PD2 with the number of the drive you want to flash)
• SeaChest_PowerControl_x64_windows.exe -d PD2 –powerBalanceFeature disable
• SeaChest_PowerControl_x64_windows.exe -d PD2 –showEPCSettings (NOTE: All should read 0; this means it is disabled)

F3 + F4

That will allow you to select from the 4 different kinds of game modes (Survival, Creative, Adventure, and Spectator)
