It's developer error. It'd be the same as a game on Linux filling up a conf file or a database with duplicates. Does Linux have mechanisms to guard against that

It's developer error. It'd be the same as a game on Linux filling up a conf file or a database with duplicates. Does Linux have mechanisms to guard against that? Didn't think so.
- kortex 3y agoNo, but I imagine it's a bit easier to catch an unwanted proliferation of files vs unwanted proliferation of registry keys.
- deadlydose 3y ago> Does Linux have mechanisms to guard against that? Sure. ulimit or cgroups can.
- belltaco 3y agoI doubt any of those are applied to games or applications on Linux by default.
- Intralexical 3y agoIf you install games via Flatpak, or via Steam which you've installed via Flatpak, they are indeed isolated in `~/.var/app/*`, IIRC. But this thread is getting distracted. That's a separate issue, and the applications in question can still pollute all they want within their container.
