Yeah, could you start showing us how you have virtualized different apps? Like some of the bigger ones -- Microsoft Office is a good example. Or, anything that is really bigger than Notepad or some things that are not available in Linux. So, you don't have to do Chrome, Firefox, etc. But, Microsoft Word or Excel would be nice. Or other things that most of us use on a daily basis.
@@nneeerrrdYes, the OS does suck, but that doesn't mean there can't be software that's available only for it that some of us may want to use. Also despite it sucking, not all Linux users think it sucks, but they would rather run Linux instead. You seem to be waging some lame spam war - the capability to run programs made for a totally different OS is a plus, not a minus, you nimbler.
This is very helpful. I really do like videos about virtualizing Windows so that I can move from the Windows environment to Linux. I'm new to Linux, so stuff like this is helpful.
My personal favorite has been Win-Apps for Linux. It has its issues, but when it does, I still find it faster and more reliant to just open the KVM and use Windows with a shared folder. This being compared to Wine or Bottles when using Excel, Word, and Adobe PDF.
If you use bottles on arch, you will notice it stopped working after the gtk4 (4.10) update, to fix that either downgrade back to the previous gtk4 version or uninstall the bottles AUR package completely and install the flatpak version instead, move all your configs and games to the new location and update your symlinks.
Okay so like... question though. Let's say "I want to run this program. It needs a dependency. Which one though?" Saying "You can pick out all the dependencies you need" doesn't help if there's no good way to know which dependencies might be needed. I tried bottles, but couldn't get most things to work because of that exact issue.
In most cases the installers themselves will let you know what are the dependencies so you can simply install them separately. Most programs these days want the .Net runtimes and Bottles takes care of that by itself for the most part but every now and then you are gonna run into the odd old school app coded 10-15 years ago that will want the VB or VC++ runtimes of the day. Bottle makes that really easy compared to setting up separate Wine prefixes yourself. In fact, for simpler apps, it is either a click-n-run affair or a two-minute dependency tweak.
Windows Programs are compiled as PC (X86_64) and the Raspberry Pi is ARM crap, that's why windows exe can't run on Pi. That's why i got a Wyse 5070 as my Debian home server, to avoid the ARM crap from a raspberry pi.
tried it out as a newbie (trying out linux as a win veteran) and it simply doesnt work at all for me. its so buggy on arch linux. tried the installer for soundblaster command. that started and it installed into the fake c: driver, but starting the actual program itself didnt work. no info why, it just doesnt start. hooray. tried the installer for logitech hub to make my fucking mouse run normally on linux, didnt even start. retried to the installer for the soundblaster command to see if that still works. doesnt work either. the auto installers available are a bit of a joke. not even 20 programs and even steam itself is ranked as bronze (???) btw bottles didnt want to be installed via pacman at all, just via yay, for whatever fucking reason. now i bet this sounds like a cryout from a win wannabe here for many linux users and yes it is. but here is the thing: many of us win users WANT to move over, but its already a huuuuge pain in the ass to even get normal peripherals working. my razer mouse doesnt even work at all if the screen turns black, gotta use my logitech mouse. at least my corsair keyboard works on default mode, didnt test its macro functionality yet though. i did get my soundcard to work, but thats also just default mode, i dont have the extra software sided stuff, cause i need that fucking software to make it work to its full extend. no fucking programs work on wine. not to mention that folder mess on linux where programs get thrown into specific folders and you cannot create own folders (at least with a simple button click) for your programs to have em neatly stored. this is a real pain when you want to mod or change files and you have to constantly click through folders or use the search bar to find the folder you want to do a deep dive. and having that stupid sudo password glitch is also not really a nice thing to have -.-. maybe i will just retry it on a different linux OS with a different kernel, maybe arch aint for me. but the pain is real...
you're like one of the best Linux guys on UA-cam. It always amazes me how you seem to find something new or different. Keep up the great content. THX!!!
Wow what a new hack, interesting. Very precise and informative video. I see a ton of interesting stuff you have done. My questions are about program updates and security? Would the version of the app or program receive updates or do you need to reinstall? Is there memory leakage with bottles? Can you transfer and save files created into the Home environment? Does Bottles in doing a backup, the contained info well or able to be restored well?
Use whatever works, my good sir. Bottles don't actually work for everything, neither does Wine. When it comes to things like this there is often never one single best thing to use, but rather use whatever works best for the program you're attempting to run.
Yes, Crossover has had this for many years and it's part of the reason that people pay for it. Not to mention that most of the code they develop gets contributed back to the project.
Is there a way to install a program in a bottle, such as a game that I want to run that’s window only, but also run a companion app in the same bottle. Good example, I can run world of Warcraft in a bottle but I want to install the curse add on engine to manage my addons, obviously they need to be installed in the same instance…..hopefully I make sense
I never really looked into Bottles because I assumed it was just another virtual server thing, but this looks dope. I'm totally installing this and playing with it tonight.
Getting a steamdeck for my wife. She never touched Linux in her life. I work with Linuix daily and use Lutris, but I find it confusing sometimes. Do you think that bottles will be better for her?
Bottles and wine both are tools, sometimes one works where the other doesn't and vise versa. These aren't the only options either. Often times running a virtual machine is best. But i gotta ask, why in the world do you even need her to use bottles or wine? Pretty much 90% of tasks have an FOSS or Linux alternative, so, unless you're trying to run specific proprietary softwares like photoshop, davinci, ableton live, etc., should be no problem just running pure native applications. Of which, there's literally thousands easily aqquirable. In other words, unless she is heavy into a very specific proprietary software, bottles/wine is a useless tool, as its usage is to run non-native windows programs under a false C:/ drive & (basically)bootlegged drivers. So. Yeah. Bottles/Wine is also something Mac users use. It's kinda just a tool that works on UNIX(mac os-x for example) / UNIX-like(linux for example) operating systems, of which Windows is not. It is NOT an emulator, nor a virtual machine, but rather a false microsoft environment to install and run windows applications within. One of the main differences in a UNIX/UNIX-like system is the file heiarchy, a few other things too ofc but a big thing is that file heiarchy/file structure. This is generally - and drivers - is what seperates the operating systems and why certain softwares/programs dont work on everything equally. The developers must account for and support both sides, of which most big tech companies aren't interested in doing because microsoft holds like 80%+ of market share. Linux community makes this even worse by making 18000 different distributions of Linux.. some using x11, some using wayland... some using a file heiarchy that follows ubuntu and such, some following arch'es, etc.,... some using this, some using that. Making it THAT much harder for software developers to develope for it. This is why Linux often just makes their own packages and has their own software repositories, and why open source works so well with it. Because the people do the integration, not the developer. Anyways. Yeah, something about your post tells me she probably doesn't use a computer for things that deep anyway, and IF she does, a proper PC would be far better than a steam deck.
Why almost every linux users in UA-cam shows how to install windows games on linux??!! Don't they do any other thing in their computer like image editing, audio editing, video editing, creating vector graphics, animation etc. etc.??!! Can it be used to install any offline windows application installer which I have in my hdd?? All things whatever is shown here are all online installers (and they actually didn’t work at all in this video). I don’t want to install from online sources which are basically useless to me as I use my pc for work purpose, not for gaming purpose and I have some softwares which I bought as offline installer. I am tired of this 'GAMING ON LINUX' thing!! 😡
You hit the nail in the head. Others like to point out how pretty it is and I'm waiting for them to start making spreadsheet, writing and transferring word documents, you know actual work but no. I want to move away from Microsoft but for what? Games? Some of us have jobs.
@@jimmydroid7838 I agree with you 100%. I am banging my head on the wall on how to open psd files in Linux and you know what I have found?? Nothing!!! All are showing how to install a VM in Linux and then install Windows 10 and then install... no, not Photoshop but MS Word!!! WTF??!! If they would run photoshop in that Windows on VM, what's the point??!! If I have to do that then why would I leave Windows in the first place??!! In 2025 support for Windows 10 will be stopped. No update, nothing and I don’t want to spend 100,000 bucks for a pc just to run Windows 11. So, before that deadline, I have to shift to Linux and have to be able to create and open PSD, AI, EPS files in it. I use my pc for work, not for gaming. So @Novaspirit Tech, please make some useful videos on these problems. 😡
I mean many programs for "working" are available on Linux, for example, Kdenlive is a good alternative, LibreOffice is, at least to me, better than Microsoft's suite, only exception might be Photoshop, but it's the same as with games, most put games as example since it's one of the things most use and it's something where you can visually tell a difference in performance and stuff. And if it doesn't work well, then... yeah, you are screwed for now. xd Tho for Lightroom kind of work, use Darktable.
Nice! Can you navigate manualy to folder where software or game is installed? Some old games have patch and crack, so i need manualy to go to that specific folder where software is installed.
WAY too fast (slow down, & breathe); you skipped explaining several crucial terms; take OFF the cap; & what's with the excessive, distracting hand-waving? I WON'T be subscribing.
It does not work, and even if the installation is successful, the program will not work well. You want to run Windows programs, shorten the time and go back to Windows

What's the difference between Wine and Bottles 😅. I mean the window app emu that's in this video. Will it work in Cachy OS which is Arch based but options to choose different distro windows desktop experience. BTW KDE is the default window manager.
Dude but what about say installing steam on Linux and pointing the a game launcher to a bottle otherwise you’d most likely have two instances of steam on the machine
How to resolve an error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" that appears after installing the windows based application via Bottles? Any solution or workaround??
c'mon, you have gimp and libre office :) or are they not that good as the average linux-nerd is trying to tell everyone ? Linux, the os to keep you bussy configuring your desktop - until your mousecursor doesn't move anymore
this is brilliant. i had always found zorin os faster and better than windows but my iptv and trading platforms wouldnt run on linux.now i can do everything on my zorin os.
Which is better for running windows software, bottles or a virtual box? Am considering swithcinh to linux in the future. Another thing, I have those old office printers, will they run good on Linux?
@@NovaspiritTech Well, maybe since you opened this "Can of Worms", I'd love to see you really develop a series about "Using Bottles in Linux to virtualize common Window Apps".
I like Bottles, because it is very easy to launch a windows programm. But i like too use it for ETS5. I can install the ETS5 software in bottles but wenn i start it, i have always a Unhandled exception: 0xe0434352 in 64-bit code (0x00000174013c2e). I'dont know what is the problem to make it startable ? can you help me. ?
So happy with this video. When you are on windows for 25+ years you have programs, like specific databases that you use on a weekly basis or specific audio/daw programs you use on a daily basis... it seems impossible to switch to linux, in thát setting. . So your video opens up a whole new world, where I can switch to linux and still keep the windows-programs that I really want to keep using. . 1 question though,... does BOTTLES handle registry settings? I think the most executables write there strings into the registry... How is that done [ and is that taken care of ] in linux ? . thanks so much Thumbs up + subscribed.
Tyvm for the vid. I'm reaching my breaking point w/ MS Windows and while I've looked into Linux several times in the past there was always some roadblock that kept me from making the jump. Seems like the jump is now more accessible than before so I'm def going to be looking to making the switch. I am beyond sick of using windows and the lack of control users have.
Respectfully, how am I supposed to know, which dependency do I need for specific executable? Not a single executable I've downloaded onto my Linux system was ever properly launched by bottles. I click on "launch" icon and nothing happens.
Thanks for your videos. I like the chanel (new suscriber). I was trying to install an app an this video was quite useful, in fact I would a video solving issues in installations. I was trying to create a bottle for remote desktop (current version RemoteDesktop_1.2.4763.0_x64.msi) and after installing Net Framework in the bottle, I got a message "this operating system is not supported". How should those kind of issues be solved? I would love to see a video showing more complex installations, with issues and how to solve them...
Nice.. but unfortunately this does not work in my case. Did try to install Sony Vegas 17, Bottles did install but Software can not be found in Bottles Library or in the Linux Mint OS. Nevertheless, Bottles sounds interesting.
I agree that they are both great distros. Personally, I prefer Mint for its balance of looks and performance. I will say that MX is faster. Just installed MX 23 in a vm and it runs like it is installed natively on hardware. ❤
my inner Spock suggests that the natural evolution would result in "Keg" that would far surpass "Bottles" and allow one to run windows, android and iOS apps! live long and prosper humans!
Should have called it brandy. Wine but stronger
Hahaaha
It is container-like, so surely calling it "Port" would be more appropriate? Haha
ya genius! :)
Except it's not "improved Wine", it's creating Wine containers with other dependencies you might need.
@@colbyboucher6391 so... it should be called barrels then.
Instructions unclear, installing with beer
Hey, that rhymes!
Bottles is THE program I hope to see get more traction, attention, and development right now!
Yeah, could you start showing us how you have virtualized different apps? Like some of the bigger ones -- Microsoft Office is a good example. Or, anything that is really bigger than Notepad or some things that are not available in Linux. So, you don't have to do Chrome, Firefox, etc. But, Microsoft Word or Excel would be nice. Or other things that most of us use on a daily basis.

Great video as always. Could you make a video about using bottles with Microsoft Office tools?
If you use bottles on arch, you will notice it stopped working after the gtk4 (4.10) update, to fix that either downgrade back to the previous gtk4 version or uninstall the bottles AUR package completely and install the flatpak version instead, move all your configs and games to the new location and update your symlinks.
better go with flatpak then cause Arch Linux doesn't like partial upgrades all that much

If you're having real trouble tick the "run with console" button and see if it puts any dependency errors in the console log

how was i living without this.. thanks man!
What's the difference between Wine and Bottles 😅. I mean the window app emu that's in this video. Will it work in Cachy OS which is Arch based but options to choose different distro windows desktop experience. BTW KDE is the default window manager.
i have never been able to get wine to work, on anything, even small windows programs, for the last 14 years.
GTK4. Hard pass for me. Would use it if I was using GNOME, but GTK4 apps with Libadwaita look hideous on anything other than GNOME.
Can programs like Wemod or Plitch communicate and modify games through DLL injections in bottles? I know with Wine I can.
Dude but what about say installing steam on Linux and pointing the a game launcher to a bottle otherwise you’d most likely have two instances of steam on the machine
How to resolve an error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" that appears after installing the windows based application via Bottles? Any solution or workaround??
Hey man, how are you? I have an question, can you run Roblox with bottles? As WINE can’t run Roblox anymore.
c'mon, you have gimp and libre office :)
or are they not that good as the average linux-nerd is trying to tell everyone ?
Linux, the os to keep you bussy configuring your desktop - until your mousecursor doesn't move anymore
this is brilliant. i had always found zorin os faster and better than windows but my iptv and trading platforms wouldnt run on linux.now i can do everything on my zorin os.
Вы всё показываете как игры запускать. Запустите к примеру Autocad таким образом
Some thing I'd really like to know is can you play games and apps that have no installer so there just packed in a .zip
Which is better for running windows software, bottles or a virtual box? Am considering swithcinh to linux in the future. Another thing, I have those old office printers, will they run good on Linux?
"I will do a quick tutorial on a product which I do not understand myself" - This is really pathetic!
better have a partition with windows minified instead....
that's way better approach..
Can you create a desktop icon to automatically start a bottle or do you have to open bottles library each time?
once you allow the permission for flatpak, it can generate desktop icons for you
@@NovaspiritTech nice! I’ve been open source since FreeBSD 2.2.7 and I am still amazed at how far capabilities have come.
Ross ... Damn good question. Or, have a subfolder where all of them exist, create many subdirs like games, Work, etc., and then click to execute it.
@@NovaspiritTech Well, maybe since you opened this "Can of Worms", I'd love to see you really develop a series about "Using Bottles in Linux to virtualize common Window Apps".
If it can deploy game gpu drivers I’m down for that . Quickly
Why are you all so obsessed with Widows and its apps isn't it better to make Linux apps instead of using Windows one
I prefer bottles of wine... it'll make you think somethings is working
works perfectly, thank you
Linux for poor people with old hardware 😂
Bottles uses wine in the back-end
Bottles stuck saying "Almost Done" forever
But Can it Run Gamepass (not the Cloud Version)
Shame that most of my games are in Steam and if game won't work there with proton then I'm out of luck
Can you make a follow up video on how to install Office ?
Dear GE,where can i download a Office 365 with no CD key?
I need help getting Harry Potter Magic Awakening to run it won’t download
How are you using Bottles instead of Wine if Bottles is a GUI for Wine?
When i install a program it need .net framework work 3.5 how can i do it
this is more difficult to use then wine, cant get anything to work and where are the instructions?
Bro! it's Amazing You solved my problem! Thanks!!!
I wish it was built in with linux that you can use any windows programs without using a plug in
It's just a front end for wine like play on linux but it looks better
I like Bottles, because it is very easy to launch a windows programm. But i like too use it for ETS5. I can install the ETS5 software in bottles but wenn i start it, i have always a Unhandled exception: 0xe0434352 in 64-bit code (0x00000174013c2e). I'dont know what is the problem to make it startable ?
can you help me. ?
i don't know what ets5 is but you can check out appdb.winehq.org/ and search for the app for compatibility with wine
@@NovaspiritTech ET5 is a software for KNX installation like Smart Home. And this Software is not in the list of wine.
Would be cool if it could block network access from options.
how does it handle kernel anti cheats? seeing most of them refuse to run on wine
I have an old 3 disc game would this work with this?
could you make a tutorial for getting bottles but ofline
Is Photoshop running decent în wine with bottle? Hardware acceleration (video card) is enabled? Thanks.
Why use photojunk use anything else
hi! thanks for sharing. what distro are you using? is that Pop?
how about idm? does it will run natively like in windows?
Isn't it more or less the same thing? Just by a different name?
the clickbait bro, you are still using wine. bottles is just a GUI wine manager rigth?
Yeah, that's something that I wish would have been covered. Man, he's got to do a video series on something like this.
There is by far easier way u use W11 can u imagine that!
Can i install AutoCad through Bottles?
Sounds like it's raining hard outside 😅
Will MS Money Sunset Version work with it?
Guess this wont work with a arm based cpu😅
Does Bottles run Windows apps & games on Linux support work with install multiple user ?
PortProton
Can you run adobe with this?
You didn't say anything about the noise
Can you use CorelDraw in Bottles?
bottles wine but finally with the bottle nice
Bottles is available as an AppImage
You talk way too fast. I could not understand it
So happy with this video. When you are on windows for 25+ years
you have programs, like specific databases that you use on a weekly basis
or specific audio/daw programs you use on a daily basis... it seems
impossible to switch to linux, in thát setting.
.
So your video opens up a whole new world, where I can switch to linux
and still keep the windows-programs that I really want to keep using.
.
1 question though,... does BOTTLES handle registry settings?
I think the most executables write there strings into the registry...
How is that done [ and is that taken care of ] in linux ?
.
thanks so much
Thumbs up + subscribed.
Good job bro, JESUS IS COMING BACK VERY SOON;WATCH AND PREPARE
Chill
Neat, I have nearly zero windows programs anymore but maybe I'll get into some blizzard games again
Tyvm for the vid. I'm reaching my breaking point w/ MS Windows and while I've looked into Linux several times in the past there was always some roadblock that kept me from making the jump. Seems like the jump is now more accessible than before so I'm def going to be looking to making the switch. I am beyond sick of using windows and the lack of control users have.
Respectfully, how am I supposed to know, which dependency do I need for specific executable? Not a single executable I've downloaded onto my Linux system was ever properly launched by bottles. I click on "launch" icon and nothing happens.
Thanks for your videos. I like the chanel (new suscriber). I was trying to install an app an this video was quite useful, in fact I would a video solving issues in installations. I was trying to create a bottle for remote desktop (current version RemoteDesktop_1.2.4763.0_x64.msi) and after installing Net Framework in the bottle, I got a message "this operating system is not supported". How should those kind of issues be solved? I would love to see a video showing more complex installations, with issues and how to solve them...
I can’t see my files properly
Thanks. Is there a way to run a program in Bottles by adding also its dependencies like DLLs, etc. ?
Edit: like a setup
Nice.. but unfortunately this does not work in my case. Did try to install Sony Vegas 17, Bottles did install but Software can not be found in Bottles Library or in the Linux Mint OS.
Nevertheless, Bottles sounds interesting.
I agree that they are both great distros. Personally, I prefer Mint for its balance of looks and performance. I will say that MX is faster. Just installed MX 23 in a vm and it runs like it is installed natively on hardware. ❤
Ubuntu 22.04 installation cannot boot in HP ProBook 440 G5. I can choose boot from file from while computer starting .
my inner Spock suggests that the natural evolution would result in "Keg" that would far surpass "Bottles" and allow one to run windows, android and iOS apps! live long and prosper humans!
Can I install windows native whatsapp app which supports videocalling feature using bottles in ubuntu 22.04?
