They have an installer for Autodesk Fusion 360: https://usebottles.com/app/#fusion360
It didn't work the last time I tried it.
Had the same issue. You need to create another bottle in which you disable DXVK/VK3D.

Re: Bottles – Easily run Windows software on Linux
#142Bottles for me fills a very specific niche that nobody else does: launching multiple apps in the same prefix.
For example, if I want to launch Titanfall 2+ Northstar, I need to launch a Northstar launcher in the same prefix as the EA launcher (nowadays these Northstar launchers have a button to launch the EA launcher so it's no longer an issue but still). Each bottle feels like a separate windows install, so if you need a dependency that's not bundled you can just press the big "launch program from file" button and go on with your day.
Games that are DRM free and programs that you download on windows in general can be installed in proton or lutris but doing it always feels like a hack. On the flip side, using bottles is just "launch installer, an entry for the installed program is added". It really is a fantastic piece of software.

What's a "prefix" in this context?

A Wine prefix - the configuration and filesystem for a single Wine Windows installation.

I don’t work for codeweavers and will still say that this is unfairly benefiting from the existing terminology created by codeweavers. They could have literally picked any other name.
> unfairly benefiting from the existing terminology created by codeweavers Seems like a stretch. I don't see a problem with reusing good terminology. It's not like it's trademarked. I can see "bottles" becoming the generic term, it makes more sense than "prefixes".
This. Bottles are preconfigured packages of programs on Wine, while prefixes are just Wine sub-environments.

#146We are in a family crisis here, can any of the solutions run roblox after their botched anti cheat update?
just run windows

#147How’s gaming performance? (It’s pretty much the only reason I still use Windows at all)
It's worth remembering that all of these solutions are Wine (or Proton which is a fork) underneath, it's just a question of packaging.
The Steam Deck is a Linux Gaming machine that uses Proton to make the vast majority of the Steam Library available. It works extremely well on not the most powerful hardware. You can basically play any game as long as it doesn't rely on some hardcore anti-cheat (so counts out some online multiplayer games like R6 Siege).

Bummer! That sucks as a freelancer with customers frequently relying on MS out of laziness. OTOH, at this point it's just another nail in the coffin for the Linux desktop that ceased to be usable anyway, even for work supported by the few age-old apps it has. Sadly, I can't even say I'm surprised, with Linuxers busy for well over a decade now to dutifully and sheepishly bring their workloads to "the cloud" and Chrome…
I am using the web version of teams on linux and it works fine (I mean it is crap but not worse than on windows). Not sure what nail you are talking about.
Yeah, the web version of Teams is fine but doesn't support Firefox properly - e.g. can't make calls.
This is annoying because Firefox containers are ideal for managing the multiple teams sessions I have for different clients.

#149Cool, but after reading "All the gaming platforms you already know, right here" and searching for Xbox Game Pass or Forza Horizon and finding nothing, I gave up.
That was only the heading. The paragraph directly below clarifies:
> The most popular gaming platforms (Epic Games Store, GOG Galaxy, Origin, Battle.net, EA Games..) are already available as an installer in Bottles.
They even put an "Available Installers"-button right below.
Xbox Game Pass won't work on Linux until MS decides they want to, and I don't see that happening.

I have found that most open source projects like this tend to oversell and underdeliver.
If a headline taken out of context counts as overselling, almost all websites oversell and underdeliver.
