In Whisky menu select "Kill all bottles"

it still there, even after I deleted all the bottles manually 😶‍🌫️ https://cln.sh/9TNdhwB1Nc3NdHtcnx4J

Contrary to popular belief, this is normal. Even deleting the bottle The reason being that the file handle will still exist in memory, so until it tries to read a new file, all data that was previously loaded in memory stays loaded, so the application won’t crash immediately.

Whisky is also just a prefix manager, not the environment, you can quit Whisky completely and it will keep running apps as usual.

It’s a feature.

To close Steam, you have to press the steam icon in the top bar. It may show up as plain black, in that case, click at the bottom of the box, otherwise, press the button that says Exit Steam. If Steam doesn't quit, say you have a download active that just won't stop, then you can use Cmd+Opt+Esc to open the task manager, and quit wine64-preloader. Hope this helps.

i know how to close steam but it kept popping up after a minute and its getting rlly annoying

[Omay238]

The method I sent should close it, and make it not pop up again, although I guess it isn't working for you.

open steam settings/interface> run steam when computer starts (uncheck this)

Select "exit steam" from the steam icon in the top left corner, that should fix it
