System in weird state, can't uninstall Protontricks
Hey there, I'm finding my Bazzite install to be in a weird state that I'm not quite sure how to get out of.
Specifically, I somehow have Protontricks installed as a user package (
/usr/bin/protontricks) which I didn't install via Homebrew (there is no protontricks brew package). I suspect this is due to some weird shit I did early on in my deck's life when the package manager was still nix-env/Fleek as opposed to Homebrew as it is now, when I was installing things haphazardly by running nix-env -i {pkg} - though I don't remember exactly how it got on my system in the first place.
This version of protontricks there is outdated (1.11.0 from Dec 2023), and I'd rather it not be installed to my system if possible and only have the Flatpak version. I'm unsure how to uninstall it from /usr/bin: I tried running rpm-ostree reset and rebooting my Deck, but I have no idea what I'm doing (never used an immutable distro before).
Does anyone know how to uninstall it, or more ideally uninstall all system-level packages I might have added in the past?
Am I just a dumbo and Protontricks is installed as part of Bazzite?8 replies
