#3More fitting title would be "Easily manage wineprefix using environments" or "Easily manage wine prefixes in a new way" as this is just using Wine, which is what actually does the "Run Windows software and games on Linux" (current title) part.
If anyone has experience, and since the repository doesn't mention it, how is Bottles different from let's say Lutris, Q4Wine and PlayOnLinux that already exists and does something similar?

"Cleaner" in what way? The UI? The workflow? How it deals with things on disk? Resource-usage-wise?

#6If you intend to use this, reach for the AppImage version. The AUR installation script appears to be broken, and the Flatpak version of the app is feature-incomplete (and, yunno, a Flatpak).

UI, and the way it presents options for your various wine settings (imo).
