Switch Enviroment
Bottles introduces a new way to handle Windows prefixes using environments, a combination of ready-to-use settings, libraries and dependencies.
Choose between Gaming and Software environment based on the type of software you want to start.
More advanced users can choose the Custom environment to configure the bottle on their own.
Integrated dependency manager
Windows software need dependencies to work properly.
Bottles comes with a powerful and easy-to-use dependency manager that automates this task.
Just look for the package you need and then "install", Bottles will take care of everything for you.
Install programs in one clickNew
Installers (introduced in 2022.2.14) are an easy way to install games and applications into your bottles.
Installers are instruction sets written by our community, which automate the entire dependency setup and installation process. You won't have to worry about anything anymore.
Comes with a Snapshot Manager
The Snapshots manager allows you to easily restore a previous state of your bottle.
If enabled, Bottles will automatically create a new snapshot when you install a new dependency.
If something goes wrong, go to the Snapshots section of your bottle and restore the previous state.
Built-in Sandbox
Your bottles are isolated from the system and will only hit your personal files when you decide.
The full-sandbox is provided and pre-configured only using the Flatpak package (highly recommended).
All other packages still have access to the partial sandbox which isolates the bottle files and prevents them from accessing your homedir.
