Recently been working on some advanced stuff with Python and website development It’s crazy how much you can automate and simplify with just a bit of code If anyone’s into this kind of thing or working on any tech project I’d love to discuss or share ideas

Can you make a dir like ~/.sandbox and try appending to your command WINEPREFIX="/home/youruser/.sandbox"

Wine's Notepad had a stroke when I tried to view the file that way (menu interface was cluttering the whole window), but I was able to show the file's contents using type test.txt.

Interesting. I wonder if you can view/modify them tho 🤔 seeing their existence VS. interacting are different sometimes in file systems

Generally the idea of sandboxing beyond reliance on application software would be other users, chroot, containers and such yeah... But then you also need to be able to connect it back to the X server for graphical applications, which can get messy. It is, however, how Android separates applications too. Applications each have their own users, and permissions are enforced with groups. And since a few years ago, filesystem access has been rerouted through the Storage Access Framework / Scoped Storage.

Yeah your user has access to your home dir, so I guess for safety we would need to run the wine some.exe command with a lesser user

That is actually a really good point. The way I ran this console, was with the wineconsole cmd command ran under my user account (UID 1000, vim). Here's a screenshot of that. As for where I got the information I used here, that would be here. What I would like to do here, is to use the Wine console to open one of the files in my home directory (where e.g. Firefox also stores its data) with something like Notepad. That way it's guaranteed that Wine is responsible for it in its entirety, rather than some Linux-Wine-Linux voodoo that bridges Linux-Linux directly.

so I doubt I'll find myself using laptop during those times

Hmm, in that case I'd probably go with a ThinkPad... Especially if you're willing to carry an external mouse with you, because the nipple is really a "love or hate it" kind of thing. I love my X220, but I can definitely see why there's a "hands stay on the keyboard" kind of vibe to it. I'll play with some real n- family friendly 🙃

I wish I could have the gear that macs have with my setup on it

Geeks Chat

19 June 2025 21:44

ThinkPads for keyboard (especially X220 or T420), best membranes on the market by a mile. MacBooks on the other hand have excellent trackpads and MacOS is very Linux-like without all the fussing and fuming that comes from having to learn its internals to get anything done with it.
