How to Run Windows Apps on Linux using Bottles

i hope this go wild with supporting widows apps and games
i cant wait to switch to lunix the only thing holding me is some softwares im forced to stick with
also the dumb pc companies that dont support hardware drivers to lunix

After trying wine - wine tricks - play on linux and bottles I still can't get a Adobe DC installation

I am getting an error
Installing dependency: Microsoft Courier New Font …
Failed to install dependency: Microsoft Courier New Font

No matter what I do, Bottles always silent-crashes...

In Fedora you just open the "software" app and type bottles, boom, the bottles app appears, click install. Done.

Did y'all know if he says smash the light button it goes RBG??????

Nice video and everything clearly explained. Still I have a question.
Is it possible to install the video editing program DaVinci Resolve in Bottles?

app/com.usebottles/x86_64/master not installed?

I'm no coding expert but I hope to ask for help. I am trying to open FL Studio which I have installed in my laptop on Ubuntu. I have tried running it before with a few lost features like labels, but other than that I just want it to run. I have not opened my laptop in weeks and when I tried opening FL studio, a window keeps popping up on the upper left saying "Preparing Windows Compatibility Layer" and it's taking forever. Anyway this can be resolved?

I see you downloaded a software from online but what about a windows software I have om a cd or hard drive. Can I install it using bottles?
I don't have a clue about linux.

would it work for adobe apps?

At this point, I'd think that Windows operating systems from 3.1 to XP or maybe even to Vista are understood well enough that it should be possible to write a tool for apps made for those operating systems to recompile them for x86_64 Linux builds, if not aarch64 Linux and armv7l Linux as well. And while some of those programs may be too old to be useful, I'd think the modding scene could breath new life into those recompiled apps, in much the same way the modding scene breaths new life into PC games with new features and better support.

SavvyNik you're cool.

It dont work pure junk.

other reviewers have made the statement that Bottles is very out dated. Does anyone know if this is true? Has the dev of Bottles slowed, or ended?
👀

Does this work for programs like Solidworks?

when i click launch it starts to open and then nothing happens, what do you suggest?

puff, what a mess, is that all u have to do to run an exe file on linux ? its easier to install win

Can it run any windows file or any game at least

Thanks brother, hugs from Brazil

Doesn't work!

Note that the directories

'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/abdullahmohd/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'

are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.

Looking for matches…
error: No remote refs found for ‘flathub’

I was unable to see my folders and files, to solve it I opened bottles, went to the top right menu, chose preferences and all my folders were there! Then preferences and tried to add a shortcut and I was able to see all my folders and files. I hope it helps you.

What if i have torrent?

Great video. That opens doors to switching to Linux.
.
One question though,...
.
What about drivers?
Audio software uses hardware/interfaces to run audio
and you need the drivers. I don't think my daw software has any Linux drivers.
So can you install windows drivers on BOTTLES that talk to the windows
software that you also run on bottles?
.
thumbs up + subscribed.

Thanks for the help ! It can run my software for my RGB laser and after a little searching i was able to find the directory where it is installed so i could add my projects. I did a little test and seems to work fine.

there are programs for execute UWPs on linux?

Any idea why Bottles can't recognize MS Office installation file? After all it is proper setup.exe file. I can use it to install MS Office via PlayOnLinux and Wine but Bottles won't accept it. Strange...

hey there im new to this i tried to install the flatpak but it says sudo: apt: command not found

thanks and gratz on the 50k goal

Does anyone know how I can automatically start a certain Windows program in Bottles under Linux?🤔

is it possible to install bottles on a laptop witch dosent have an internet connection ?

Question, what if Windows Media Player is required for the program I am trying to run? I tried it, says that it's launching but nothing happens. I'm guess that's where I'm stuck. Thoughts?

I have MS Office 365. Excel is the only app I really need in Windows.
Can I install it with Bottles? Rather than dual boot or VM Box.
Any suggestions is appreciated.

this program is sooo slow. Lutris is simply better

Sorry to say it but your video demonstrates why so many are put off Linux.
If one is used to the Windows environment it’s no use saying how Linux is so customisable etc etc: it really IS like going back to DOS commands some of the time. There’s so much “help” online but every advice is different and confusing, and often relates to a different distro to the one I am trying.

?? Seems like extra work to do something that can be done directly thru WINE. ????

What assurances do I have that the package maintainers for bottles is in stealing my personal data?

So say that you are using a graphic intensive program will it work nicely with your graphics card or no?

will my CAD program* work this way? tanx!! *ActCAD, a VERY-affordable pro CAD-program (your welcome :-))) I'm soooo-tired of MS making a "disappearing" OS (W10)!

I wanted to use it for H&R Block software, but it won't communicate the Activation code. Any way to do this?

Hmmm… not working for me.

I tried installing ChordPulse, a mini Band in the Box program, but couldn’t get any sound out of it, which wasn’t useful as I wanted to create backing tracks. Does anyone have an idea how to sort this out?

Thanks for the video. How about showing how it works with some heavy duty software like Qubase, Magix vegas, Premiere, After effects and other multimedia software?

flatpak is so slow in linux

you go thru this WAY TOO FAST

THANKS

I love you

i like to know if it can run Fort Zombie because if that work it would push me to linux
