    @PieMePlenty@lemmy.world I should clarify that was me pulling the path from memory. So might not be 100% accurate but it explains how the path works with proton/wine when using steam.

    Essentially WINE creates a windows styled directory, with all the core folders, and then the emulator uses this as it's root directory.

    Documents is a great example. On Linux the document path is

    /home/<USER>/Documents.

    On windows it's

    C:\users\<USER>\documents

    If we use the default wine settings, the path for the wine documents folder on Linux is

    /home/<USER>/.wine/drive_c/users/<USER>/documents

    Any program running in wine will only see the files from drive_c and down, emulating how a windows environment would work.

    Happy to answer any questions if that isn't clear. Feel free to DM.
