Want to run something not covered here? Check out this video! ruclips.net/video/SDrbNgM6gXk/видео.html
You think this would run Windows Android app emulators
Is this only for x86 linux? Wondering about doing this on an M1 machine.
There is one thing that I miss in this video, a brief introduction to flatpak sandbox side effects.
Bottles is a flatpak application and as such it has a sandbox around it, it is very easy to run into file access problems if you attempt to look for a file on a removable drive for example.
If somebody is running into read/write access issues I would suggest the following:
Move the .exe file inside the bottle, (there is a button on the top right corner to show the bottle files) sometimes exes attempt to create temp files or look for dlls in the same location they are.
Launch your .exe "from the terminal", there is a button that will show you a terminal window detailing what is going on instead of silently failing, at least you will have something to look into if it goes wrong.
I hope this helps to solve most issues while installing and that you don't have to waste as much time as I did the first time ;)
I can also suggest using Flatseal for a GUI way of changing permissions for Bottles, also including full access to the entire Home directory and even the "/run/media/[username]/" directory.
Your answer is desktop portals
Bottles is the bomb! Even before Ableton Live was included in the installers list, installing it was as easy as just double clicking the .exe file, not exaggerating.
Yeah I love this solution too.
Which version do you run?
@@Jonathan.R.Pereira I run it up to date version.
@@Jonathan.R.Pereira The latest version of Live 10.
WAIT YOU CAN RUN ABLETON??
How about splice, have you had luck with it?
Good video. The best approach for me is to have a Windows machine for gaming and another machine for Linux. I just don't have the time or patience to keep testing and configuring computers anymore.
Thanks for covering 💙
Great video, I followed your suggest and bottles works perfect. 👌👌
Thanks for the vid! Need more using bottles)
I use wine in linux mint from the repository and it works just fine
Great videos! Love your channel.
Very useful. Thank you.
best video ever... after watched it I installed an old mmorpg that I used to play and it's only available on windows platform...Now I'm playing it on my popOs lol
Wow! First time someones mentions ArcGIS pro on a Linux video, I do use and prefer QGIS (I'm used to it but sometimes on my work we use ArcGIS and have Windows for that) I hope someday we have a native Linux port or someway to use it without problems
This is so cool! We all know that containers are awesome, but I never thought of containerizing Wine.
Wine could be "containerized" from the beginning, but it is chore without some kind of manager like bottles
Bottles is the best for me 😁. I run LTspice XVII and Micro-Cap 12 (32-Bit) without any problem.
As always writing a comment to support the channel
Had a lot of trouble installing dotnet dependencies for a graphical app and gave up. But great app indeed.
Thank you for the video! Is it possible to create a shotcut for gnome apps in Bootles app?
Oh dude, Empire Earth! A man with class!
Bottles are so easy I got it to work to run a few old windows programs pretty easily. But I either need to use a magnifying glass or set the screen resolution very low to read any fonts. Scaling works in windows for these old programs, but not in bottles. Maybe you can edit the registry?
Bottles for me has been tempermental (Linux Mint noob here). Tried to follow another video to get Battlenet to work never did followed yours for GoG and after 4 tries it finally worked (it just kept erroring out 2/3 of the way in regardless of which Gog launcher I selected).
very cool
Fl studio ...Nice very informative video
Would you be able to create a bottle with a game and a trainer.exe to run in the same instance?
Not sure if you're familiar with trainers, but if you are, it would be interesting to see a video where you got one working.
thanks for this video.......can you also make a vidio about libreoffice on how to make it compatible with msoffice based on fedora coz most videos are based on ubuntu and arch.....thanks
Your channels #1 fan from India 🇮🇳
today o i tried 2 different programs on bottles.
guitar pro 8 works
office 365 - initially didnt get the installer run at all. after setting up the envrironment as win7 it started to install but failed at %58
edit: guitar pro opens only once. doesnt launch second time. but when it opens it performs very well
Would be happy if MS Offices 365 can go with Bottles
Hello,
is there any way to open password protected USB flash drive in Linux? If the flash drive is only supported in Win and Mac OS.
If only can do OneNote standard 2016 desktop - no cloud edition it would be great. That is the only reason for me having Windows ....
Thanks for both videos!
Just switched to Linux a week ago and were you able to run onenote? If you did, how were you able to run it? I tried doing it on wine but didn't even install
I was hoping that running some newer GOG software, without using Galaxy, would be shown. I want to make sure some of my NoCD or No Copy Protection will work. I don't like my usage of a game being tracked.
It might not be related to this video but do you know a remote desktop app for Linux which supports audio ?
The only remote desktop app I know is VNC
Real men pirate games
Real men try 'full release' 'demos' and if really enjoyed, and played, buy the game(s) which supports further development.
@@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210 there are no moral reprocussions to pirating from greedy companies
To be honest TechHut, I wouldn't say that the applications listed suck, I mean they have flaws in terms how they would've been designed, and I can say Bottles is not perfect either. I would say Wine, Crossover, and Bottles tend to be good Windows compatibility layers. Though yes, Bottles might be the one that stands on top.
if you can make Linux distro that can run windows software seamlessly on it i think the windows user will shrink to 0.001 of its market size
I have never not once had playonlinux work
The old 95 XP games work well in wine
If Linux is installed on a virtual machine, will bottels work properly?
I have the 4k video downloader application downloaded from the Internet and the installer launched in the program. Unfortunately it doesn't run with default settings. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Is it possible for Bottle to add folders with exes and it's files (eg. portable apps) that does not go through installations?
I've often wondered about this with things like Wine. That and being able to run a background app, such as joyToKey or x360ce, while playing a game.
the main software i use is corel draw i managed to get corel draw x3 working on kubuntu 22.04 but i would like corel draw x7 or 2017 i want to completely remove windows from my drive but until i figure out how to make corel draw x7 work on linux im using windows as a duel boot
I might be late, but can I put a .iso? Like for office package I don't know if I can find an "excel installer" out there that doesn't have the whole Russia of virus
I mean .iso on bottles to install it
Do like me, install Windows 11 Pro in Virtualbox running in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, because Windows Apps run best on Windows :) My $349 PC from 2019 contains; Ryzen 3 2200G; 16GB DDR4; 512GB nvme-SSD. My VMs run from lz4 compressed OpenZFS 2.1.4 with a L1ARC (lz4 compressed memory cache) maximized to 4GB.
The video is wrong about the video drivers, note that Virtualbox in 3D mode is based on the VMWare video driver.
personaly i use playonlinux couse the only application i need from windows is office 2010 it runs perfectly
👍!!
i want to install programs like transformation pack is that possible ?(I want to travel to linux from Windows 7 but also want windows 7 ui on linux (a program called windows 7 transformation pack for windows xp ) )
You can have groups - that is a Bottle for games and put your games in, a bottle for apps and put your apps in there. Is there a reason you're making the bottles and the apps as a 1 to 1 correlation?
What if the program is in steam , will it work ? , also my steam app does not want to launch in bottles but in lutris no problem
Let's go
Good to see TF2 in the steam account ;)
One of the best solutions:
Virtual Machine.
If you play old and very old games ( such as Diablo 1, 2 Sierra's Pharaoh, etc. ) and some Windows Apps.
If you have enough RAM and use SSD, then good to go.
running Windows is never a "best" solution... virtual machine or otherwise.
@@AyaWetts
So, how do you plan to use apps from Windows when you need to?...
@@SkyFly19853 1: Find different software... 2: get the Windows version to run without Windows... 3: if all else fails, give up on that crap Windows only software and find something else to do
@@AyaWetts
The problem is that almost all the pcs coming with Windows 11 at the moment unless people manage to install older versions of Windows to install.
I am a retro gamer and play certain video games.
I also use Adobe.
Linux is useless when it comes to gaming and professional apps.
I even tried to use bottles for video game Alien Isolation on Linux and did NOT even manage to install...
I must say Linux is useless for gaming and professional apps.
Linux has only opensource projects that are abandoned whenever people feel like it...
@@SkyFly19853 there's thousands of Windows games that work great...
Alien Isolation has a Platinum rating with ProtonDB, so it should work out of the box in Steam with normal Steam play, just click and play.... there is also a native Linux port of it I see by Feral too... If you have an old copy that you need to get to work thats not Steam, you have to jump through a couple hoops.
If you are stuck using crapware by Adobe, then just use crapware by MS to run it then... I'd use neither.
“One of the difficulties people face when switching from Linux to windows is the fact…. “ wait. What whaaat! “Linux to windows “
Hey, life is all about the recovery. Even smelly cheese happens. It made me think actually, one day people might actually switch from Linux to windows. I’m not sure what windows will be like at that point. Possibly a redo of BeOS. Oh wait, that’s already a thing isn’t it.
Thanks for the material.
What about DOSBox? Works fine for me.
I need to connrct bottkes to the internet. Haven't found a way to do that. Is there one?
Forgive me. Correction needed at 10 seconds. You misspoke saying one of the biggest problems when switching from -Linux to windows- is getting Windows applications to work on Linux instead of when switching from *Windows to Linux* one of the biggest problems is getting Windows applications to work on Linux.
I apologize and i hope you look over me. I realize it is insignificant and obvious what you meant but I've spent the last 2 hours about to implode and had to come back to comment this for myself so I may go about my life. Hope you understand!
Huge fan of your content btw!
BEST Solutions for Running "Windows" Apps in Linux? Well, they're not Windows apps are they, they're just apps and the best solution is to go tell the developer if they want your money they need to support the system you're running or you'll go elsewhere.
Not to devalue the amazing work that has been done to make it work on Linux but maybe its time we started voting with our wallets rather than banging our heads on the wall.
As of now no posible but if you want you can .
That is way easier said than done. There are programs out there that just straight up do not have a Linux equivalent, so if you want that particular functionality you either go with what the developer provides or you go without. One example for me personally is that I like to use my pc to watch my bluray collection, and to the best of my knowledge there is no player on Linux that can play BDs because they require proprietary software to decrypt.
Do error messages finally display? I've tried Bottles multiple times since its very first release but it's been near useless to me as it doesn't show error messages.
When I was trying to get Athena's Armor Set Search running, WINE would crash and say the exact dependency I was missing, allowing me to install them as I went until it finally worked.
Bottles would just close the program again silently, making it impossible to figure out what you need.
I you "launch from terminal" you can see the log in the terminal window that pops up, including errors.
@@AlbusRegis Awesome. The error that came up each time was a Windows one, so I'm not sure if Wine will specifically log it, but that's a start. Thanks.
From what I know, notepadqq is the linux alternative to notepad++
But then, you have superior text editors on Linux like vim, emacs, and even the gui ones like gedit
There is also Notepad Next wich is a reimplementation of notepad++
notepadqq is no longer developed, though. I'm even more comfortable using Kate nowadays
@@scoutosmanos I've tried that one, but it was a little buggy and didn't have that great of a UI. It's still in early development
@@michaelplaczek9385 "superior" is highly subjective 🤷
I'll try this at morning and I'll reply to this comment it if it's work! God I'm so excited to get rid of the worthless windows!
ableton won't install it just says computing space and then bottles crashes what do i do
I think you had a glich of concentration at the beginning of the video. You say that for people who switch from Linux to Windows, some windows apps won't work. I guess you meant people who switch from Windows to Linux... Nice video btw.
I was trying to do Blizard but Luncher keeps crashing why
i never manage get bottles to work. i just use wine directly it always work.
problem with third party software like bottle is that its hard to ask for support in wine forum.
Did bottles run MS Office?
so Microsoft office will work through this process?
I installed bottles but it uses wine 7 which is way older than the current wine which is now 8 something
Can we run After Effect Yet???
Sir, How to install Microsoft office 365 in Linux,, ?
Better to install windows 11 in vm workstation and run windows program seamlessly. Bottles is better than wine. I will try on my mint surface book.haha
tried to install 3 different softwares through bottles. doesn't work. no idea why
Is there ANY suppot for being able to run something like After Effects on this?-yet?
Not sure, although I know blender and DaVinci resolve have those features. However, those two are node based and not layer based.
You should probably slightly alter the thumbnail to feature bottles, just saying.
notepad++ is for linux btw as a snap
I always run the native package versions of Bottles if the distro has it so aint got to deal with all that flatpak BS
Can we run x86 app on wine🍷?
How about Heroic launcher? It does Epic and Gog
ain't heroic launcher a native app for linux?
@@noel_curray yes, it does similar job like epic
@@noel_curray it installs games from Epic and Gog, plus Wine, Proton, Proton GE version of your choice. If you've got plenty of games on those two stores like I do, it's an interesting app. Plus, far faster than the frankly rubbish Epic launcher.
Bottles is better than Lutris for gaming especially for GoG games.
Бутылки больше всего понравились мне.
But i find it difficult to install MS Office in Ubuntu using bottles
Has someone experience with office 2016?
is it possible to get pirated games to work this way?
Bottles is not quite there yet.
The WINE is in the bottles?
Honestly notepadqq is an almost literal notepad++ port to Linux...
does it support the hundreds of plugins for notepad++... many are great.
virt manager qemu/kvm is way better, if your cpu supports it of course lol, it's not new vs old, I have a 10 y/o laptop that supports it
*for a vm
It has a lot of issues with NVIDIA GPUs when you turn on 3D acceleration... I've struggled with this so much that I just gave up and returned to VirtualBox.
@@talesaraujo979 oof, yeah, I'm not suprised that nvidia has issues, their drivers are going to be meh for linux so stuff like this would likely break, although you could try giving it the whole gpu, so windows can handle that nvidia gpu with the better drivers, although I'm joking, don't do that.
Is PizzaHut related to this channel :v
Negative 🍕
Pizza Hutt 🌌
I wonder what the legal implications are copying all the Microsoft copyrighted software into a bottle required to run the application.
VMWare player is free, why not use that?
Wine doesn't use any Microsoft code. There's no code emulation or virtualization. It's a compatibility layer written from scratch.
0:09 switching from linux to windows ?
one minute to realize that hhhhh
Misspoke lol
If only the NotePad++ devs were not so anti-linux...
Works fine in bottles
I miss notepad++. notepadqq doesn't cut it
SublimeText is a great alternative
Run notepad++ in bottles it works flawlessly.
so can I play Fortnite or Fall Guys on Linux?👀
:o
Funny thing is that wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator...
Wine Is Not an Emulator is not an emulator is not an emulator is not...
PortProton better! Try it.
can I use bottles to play, uhh windows games that I don't "own" ? not buying erogames on steam 💀
Worth a try.
I'm sick of hearing all this "switching to linux" snobbery. I daily drive Windows but frequently use Linux too for projects like my emulation box. No intention of "switching"
I don't think I was a snob about it.
@@TechHut I don't think that you are a snob, just hearing people constantly pushing for "switching to linux" sounds presumptuous
Bottles is letting Lutris miles away from the distance.......
First
Until Linux can get ALL windows apps running, it will never be a viable desktop OS.
In the end I just end up reformatting the Linux lengthy experiment and installing WIndows 7 and calling it good.
Win 7 is no longer a viable desktop OS so....not sure if you are serious or trolling
@@sdtechconsulting Dead serious. I still use Windows 7. Look it up, Windows 7 was the most popular version of Windows ever.
The four stroke combustion engine was invented in 1876. Still the most popular engine ever. The propellor was invented in 200 BC, still popular today. The wheel was invented in 4th millenium B.C in Mesopotamia, still super popular today. A hammer and a nail still work just as great as the day they were invented, regardless of screws and nail guns. Just because something is old, does not make it obsolete. Therein lies your fallacy.
MOCAS is currently believed to be the world's oldest computer program that's remains in active use. It seems that MOCAS (Mechanization of Contract Administration Services) is still used by the United States Department of Defense running on an IBM 2098 model E-10
If you wonna so much to use windows apps just use windows ..
"....difficulties When switching from Linux to Windows"🤣🤣🤣In his opening statement this guy can't even get it right. I'm surprised you have so many subscribers. So many of these so called techies don't have a clue about presentation, reviewing or editing their content. Sigh.
