How to run LTspice in Linux

Disclaimer I have no relation with Analog Devices or LTspice development at all.

Disclaimer This guide is a "it works for me" type. YMMV.

Disclaimer Tested on Manjaro 24.0 release, but it should work on any Linux if you can install a recent Wine emulator.

Stop Disclaiming and go

To use (and develop packages) for LaTeX I have a couple of contrasting needs:

to use the most recent possible version, maybe even the development version,to check that my code/package still works, and
to use the distribution-provided version which is ormally lagging behind, sometimes even years.

My solution is to install the distribution-provided package and also install a "portable" version of the current TeXLive distribution; then a bit of shell magin let you switch from one to another. The advantage of a portable installation is that you can install it with your normal user privileges, no need to go root for this.

A kind-of step by step is the following (disclaimer: tested with Ubuntu and Manjaro distros, I use zsh as my shell; it should work with bash too but I am not 100% sure).

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am using rclone to backup my Linux directory on my employer's OneDrive cloud disk --- and it works perfectly and efficiently. Kudos to everyone involved.

The problem is that I have, on my source disk, a project cloned by GitHub; can't post a link, search for screenkey. In that dir there is a file named screenkey and a directory named ScreenKey. Ok: bad idea, I know.

What happens is that clearly, the copy fails because the target fs is non-case-sensitive with the error reported below.

So, my question: is there some way of solving the clash short of excluding the guilty directory from the backup?
