App named "Lirc" is experiencing issues when installing DXVK and GCard drivers.
Hi... I see you're dealing with a few tangled issues here. It seems these tasks are linked to recent changes, especially with the drivers and package installations. After clearing files with Synaptic and using fslint, Stacer, and BleechBit, everything seemed fine until a new folder appeared in the "music" directory that wasn't there before. You mentioned trouble installing Lutris, Wine, DXVK, and D9VK, and you're unsure if this is due to your actions or something else. The "lirc" error keeps popping up, which I assume relates to an IR blaster or remote connection. Since you don’t own any devices needing a remote, it’s possible the warning is unrelated. You’re also concerned about the 32-bit Vulkan drivers and failed installs. It would help to check your logs for more details and consider a fresh OS install if the problems persist.
Open terminal and run SUDO Bash (note: using SUDO can be risky but saves time later). Execute dpkg -l lirc. Save the output as a screenshot and share it. Do not close the terminal.
It seems like a fresh addition to the file manager was introduced with a recent update. The reason behind it isn’t clear—why would developers add something new? If you decided to remove them, would it really make sense? Who can say what might have been damaged by making this change without trying first... ^This
Hi & thx for the reply ... Ive ran that but cannot screenshot it as the info goes way way of the page so I copied it all & will paste the result below ...

It works well, just once. You can delete it using apt purge lincr then run apt autoremove and apt clean to clear the installation files and dependencies. The second command might not do anything, which is okay.
It seems the issue might still be with the windows side, which led me to clean and reinstall the files as I normally do on Windows. Is this a waste of time in Linux? I tried to stay cautious while using these programs—just cleaned up temporary files and empty directories. Done.
I've completed all the steps and will try the installations again. Please let me know your findings—thank you! I'd like to understand why those files appeared first on my system and how I can prevent this moving forward. Regarding the cleaners, are they safe to use? If not, what alternatives should I consider?
Avoid manual cleanup steps. Use Synaptic or apt to remove packages, then run apt clean followed by apt autoremove to tidy up. Linux efficiently maintains its own cleanliness.
