What’s the point of this isolated “bottle” concept? It seems like the bloated nature of containers is now pouring into emulation. Why fix underlying problems when you can just put things in a bottle/container? Like that won’t use more resources.

#92Just use Lutris. It can fetch various flavours of wine and manage your bottles. https://lutris.net/
On one hand, this is also what I use, and it kind of works. On the other hand... Wine and NVidia seem to not like each other... at all. Every game will require tinkering with Wine and a bunch of things that are supposed to wortk with various NVidia drivers and video adapters. And there's non-zero chance that it simply won't work. Or won't work with your display manager / desktop manager / monitor connection etc. For…

#93I only use Windows because of gaming purposes. Is there anything around the internet that can show benchmarks for something like Bottles vs Proton vs Windows? WSL works well but I’d personally want to stay stick to native and not dual boot.
It's hard to do a benchmark, as you have many variables. - what kernel you used + which settings - what CPU model you used? what security mitigations were enabled? - GPU model, GPU driver version, GPU driver configuration settings - what wine version you used (e.g.: wine stable, staging, devel? proton? glorious eggroll? custom?) - what wine settings you used: overrides, Windows version, installed libraries, etc. - di…

#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
Almost anyone using Wine is familiar with the term and CodeWeavers’ usage of it.
I've been using wine for well over a decade and I was not aware of it. I'm not so confident that your characterization here is accurate. Everyone I know that uses wine just follows some youtube video to get some game working on linux. They don't spend a lot of time learning about the ecosystem.
