i want to mess up with wine, now I just backup ~/.wine, do whatever, restore.
With split folders, i'd have to backup a bunch of folders (.config/wine, .local/share/wine, .local/lib/wine or wherever the files, registry, dosdevices and other stuff would be put).

Note that the prefix doesn't contain everything that wine spills all over your home. It adds (XDG `.desktop`) launchers & menu/desktop shortcuts, file type associations, icons, etc. to the usual locations.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoUsually I need to upgrade something within a wine environment, and sometimes the new version of whatever software doesn't work, so "cp -r .wine .wine-bak", do whatever, fail, rm, cp back, and it's done.
