For some reason Calibre won’t let me do anything because “drive is full” which I assume has to do with this.
Update: I believe I “fixed” the error with Calibre by using FlatSeal to add environment variable CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR that changes the Temp directory to something else. So far that’s the only program I’ve seen give trouble.
This is completely unrelated to your problem:
The calibre website recommends extremely strongly against using their software packaged by anyone else other than calibre themselves as they are often (see usually) buggy or extremely outdated.
It may be worth it to manually “install” the app from their website somewhere in your ~/.local/ and see if you have less issues using the official package.
That is your / (root) partition. You can’t write to it because Aurora is an atomic & immutable distro.
Source: I use Aurora & Bazzite.

I’ve been stuck repeatedly asking myself this question ever since reading your comment 😩 Please be careful about throwing infinite

Fedora Atomic Desktop 42 switched to composefs, which has a small full partition mounted to
/. Your “real” filesystem is mounted on/sysroothttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ComposefsAtomicDesktops
That makes sense, thank you! How can I clear up space in it?
You don’t, it’s the immutable root partition. You probably need to find the point it’s trying to write to and link it to a location it can write to.
Note: I’m still a newbie to atomic desktops too.
You were correct, I believe I “fixed” the error with Calibre by using Flatseal to add an environment variable
CALIBRE_TEMP_DIRthat changed the Temp directory to something else.
