A good thing about Bottles is that if you successfully made a program run under it, you can share the bottle with multiple computers that have bottles. That and the option to have it sandboxed is why i prefer it over Lutris.
Just started using bottles to run zello on Linux. Awesome video once again Matt. You're starting to be one of my top tier go-to Linux Gurus. Keep up the great work my friend!!
I wish this was an actual tutorial to get itunes to function but it is a neat demonstration on how bottles functions should i find another program to test this out with in the future
Soon Matt will use Snaps. Slippery slope Matt! /s Thanks for the content as usual. Bottles is an amazing piece of software. Hope you're still "enjoying" the challenge.
Pretty sure when it says it's looking for a "Windows installer package" in the filter, it is looking for .msi files. If you click the pulldown on the filter, maybe it has a different option for .exe files.
With bottles, wine tricks, and other of these applications I tried installing my photography applications like Capture 1, DxO PhotoLab, NX Studio etc. and it was hot garbage.
The thing is the only thing I still use windows for is games that absolutely can't run on Linux for whatever reason or programs for configuring my peripherals and RGB ram (it was cheaper ok). Unfortunately for this reason I have to keep a small extra SSD just for windows bs
I installed ZWcad 2023 in a bottle on my ubuntu. I didn't find an alternative and i need this program to do a part of my job. ZWcad is like Autocad. It was a bit tricky to install but now it works perferctly on my Ubuntu. No need to use Windows anymore :) Thanks to the team of Bottle !!! Thanks Linux !
Probably a bit late and someone might have already commented this but the reason why the exes aren’t showing up is probably because bottles are looking for .msi not .exe.
Ive been waiting for itunes to work in wine. Bummed you couldn't get it going. I have a free subscription to apple music, so I use itunes to play music while working. Since it doesn't work in wine I run a full windows vm.... Just for itunes.
Thank you. I want to try this so I can purchase movies and tv series to watch on FireTV. This is why I hate Windows and iProducts(except iTunes). Too proprietary. The AppleTV app on FireTV doesn't allow purchases. I have an old PC so I hope I have enough RAM for a VM. I have never created one. Thanks again.
Yes, some of us need to run iTunes on Linux. I have money on account. I want to buy movies/series and play on AppleTV on Firestick. I can only watch there, not purchase. The only iDevice I have is iTunes on a multi-boot laptop. It's the only reason I use Windows at all. Linux rules.
Another excellent video, thank you! Off topic, but what terminal emulator that has tabs would you recommend for i3wm? I am aware I can just stack, etc on i3, but really want tabs. Currently using alacritty. Thanks!
Interesting video, but the title is very misleading. You clicked "install" for iTunes, yes, but as you showed, it did not get to a functional level, which is what I hoped to see out of this video. Ideally, this should be titled something like "I installed a windows app on Linux" or something similar; right now, it's kind of like if someone said "I installed Word on Linux" but just made a PWA with the browser version. Technically true, but practically misleading.
Ta for the reminder of this. I'm gonna look at it for installing Word as I have to use Word Online for uni work, which is slow and clunky. I tried LO Writer but the tutor said the file was slightly corrupted, though I still use it for the drafting stages.
My experience is not that good with bottles. I just use straight up winetricks. I have highly customized setup for my setup. Thing is more complicated things are more of a pain they are. Wine and winetricks and pirated games. And you are good.
@@rarminqorset3628 ye me too but those games are still connecting to the game publishers server to send your data to them. also you have malware risk if you run it in wine without any restrictions
@@ISCARI0T just go offline play game then go online after. I install games using windows 10 tiny 10 I dual boot. Then play with Linux. I also only keep important files in ext4 partitions. Only NTFS partition which windows can read contains anime and games.
I hope autodesk inventor, and revit eventually become usable under wine. Until then I guess i'll just run a VM, and give it most of my system resources
I've installed and ran MS Office 2010 under POL-WINE successfully. But I need one software that rlly needs to tied in with Office and that is Mendeley. The mendeley plug-in on Office can't run at all. That's the only software that I rlly hope working under Linux in the future.
I recently swapped to Linux using PopOS. i need to download itunes so i can access my iphones camera for face tracking for vtubing does anyone know a way to make itunes work on bottles or other options i can use to access the camera of my iphone? any and all help is greatly appreciated!
I think I'll try this on my desktop. I did for my laptop but it has less resources than my desktop so Windows is slow. I just hate to start from scratch. Desktop already has Zorin on it.
1) Have to run windows 2) eat unnecessary space 3) Have to reboot and close all your opened aps including work just if you want to game. Definitely the least handy solution, personally Lutris works fine for me
I need a web browser that will run Java. At this point, I'm contemplating getting a pawn shop laptop to install Windows 7 on. But I'll give Bottles a try first.
@@nevoyu As long as you don't use Windows 7 for Internet or visit those suspicious websites, you're kind of safe. Of course, if you have a decent AV, that would be enough as long as you don't visit suspicious websites...
@@SkyFly19853 Do yourself and anyone connected through network to your computer a favor and remove Windows 7. Replace it with Linux and use Windows 7 in a virtual machine or try to run Windows programs through Wine/Bottles.

You should do a video showing how you configured KDE. looks great.

You may be right. Nothing else in the drop-down.
@@TheLinuxCast I installed bottles on Ubuntu and it only had the option of "supported executables" as the filter.
Just click x icon to empty the field, you can see exe file after that. I really like bottle.

I'd like to get iTunes working as I have an old iPod Touch that I have started using again.
I play Guild Wars 2 with Bottles! I love it!
I didn't think Itunes was still around. Thought they remapped the music app and renamed it.

00:39 Very good..
I just couldn’t get iTunes to work on Bottles. I had to create a Windows VM on QEMU/Virt. Works perfectly on that.
But can you bottle Excel?
As info I run Excel from Office website. This way I can access it on all of my devices regardless of platform. Unless I'm Grandfathered, it's free.
With bottles i played the witcher 3 without issues, i'm going to try installing epic store just to play grounded with my friends
I use Heroic to play Epic and GOG games.
@@andremagalhaes664 yeah.
If anything fails i'll usea heroic
Pretty sure that you can use Adobe with Play On Linux
Older versions for sure. Idk about the new stuff.
@@TheLinuxCast there's a video on Yt where one guy show how run 2019 version but it must be *cracked* - online connection do not work properly.
what distro are you used?
what is it?
well if the bottles package is old .why doesnt someone using a fedora system get the source rpm for it .edit a few lines and rpmbuild a new package?
since the official package is the flatpak I think that no one can be bothered.
fedora tries to push flatpak on the user
My experience is not that good with bottles. I just use straight up winetricks. I have highly customized setup for my setup. Thing is more complicated things are more of a pain they are. Wine and winetricks and pirated games. And you are good.
you run pirated games containerized or how? i use kvm + firejail to block internet access in wine

Try Peppermint OS or just Debian. Don't know why, but it works for me.

Can you sync iPhone
Dual booting as a great solution I think. I always keep a small 100GB Windows partition as my Gaming resort ☺️
