How to Run Windows Apps on Linux using Bottles

Ғылым және технология

Run Windows Programs on Linux with Bottles. I'll be using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to show you how to install Bottles. Run Windows Apps on Linux based systems, and most Linux Distros. Bottle uses Wine a translation layer (POSIX) to natively run windows APPS on Linux.

    You can also run the exe by left-clicking on the executable and selecting the option to "open with..." in nautilus or dolphin and select bottles, it will ask in which bottle you want to run this executable and just select and be happy.

    I wonder how this works with using multiple instances of Metatrader 5. Had some problems with wine, where I first put the copy in the same prefix & after running them a couple times I lost some settings. Later copied the whole prefix to be safe. After that I tried to create a .desktop for each instance but finally gave up after many hours. I gues it works with wine, just not easy to create shortcuts.

    You know what a video like this broadcasts, right? That wanting to run Windows apps on Linux is all the evidence anyone would ever need to see to think that FOSS never really delivered despite all the hype. And one has to ask just how accurate that thought might actually be.

    I think the problem is not foss, but foss devs focusing on the wrong things. Take office as an example: sometimes i just need a quick spreadsheet to do some random calculations. On windows, i can run excel 2010 (pretty old version, but it has all the features i need), and it only consumes around 5mb of my machine's RAM. It feels like i'm quickily grabbing a "piece of paper" to start getting work done. What are foss alternatives to that? There are only full-blown office suites that won't start a single spreadsheet software, but the whole suite!! Consuming almost 300mb of RAM without necessity. I know that shouldn't be a problem for today's hardware, but when you have many programs running, it makes a huge difference! If a NATIVE spreadsheet software is going to consume THAT amount of resources, i rather use a web-based solution like google sheets. And that's just one example of foss software going in the wrong direction because of development choices.

    I experienced hanging and freezing. It turned out that I was using a single power cable with a splitter to power both connectors on my graphics card. On the face of it, it should be the obvious thing to do, but no. So I tried using separate power cables, 1 per power port, and hey presto. No more hanging or freezing. I also left Windows in test mode (not safe mode) and disabled Windows driver verification, as Windows doesn't always like NVIDIA drivers.

Weird thing is, this worked fine for 5 years. It was possibly a driver update in combination with that incorrect way of powering my GPU which caused my problems.

Allow yourself the freedom to simply state you don't know the answer, rather than answering certain questions and ignoring others.. Just something to consider..

    Hello! Both Bottles and Wine generally work in small, self-contained programs; larger programs, like Autocad, that require multiple dependencies, do not work with these solutions. I suggest Autocad clone programs, such as Bricscad or Ares Commander, which have a Linux version, or Draftsight 2019 (free), which still works through a workaround.

    A good number of games won't run anyway. Its very hit and miss. Some older 32 bit games use 16 bit installers. So unless you have access to a 32 bit Windows computer, which is backwards compatible with 16 bit, and are then able to back up the folder where the game was installed and copy it across to your Linux computer, you won't have any luck. I was able to get an archived backup of Pac-Man 256 to run in Wine without any issues whatsoever (yes, I know its not a 16 bit game). But a game from 14 years ago, BlasterMan vs YellowSkull, runs so slowly its unplayable.
