Bottles 51.14 Update Brings Windows 11 Support
Bottles 51.14 Update Brings Windows 11 Support
Bottles 51.14, a Windows compatibility layer for Linux, brings native force stop, Windows 11 support, and personal repos.
After messing a bit around with bottles, lutris and heroic, I think I had most success with bottles.
Now there's umu launcher in the game too, I'd like to use it in bottles/lutris somehow
What about WineGUI? https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/winegui
umu is in lutris, heroic, Faugus, and zoom so far that Ive heard of. bottles is in the middle of a huge rewrite but they got distracted by the little side project of making a new distro
I haven't used Lutris since I started using Bottles. Lutris was always a headache for me.
I had the same issue and I cant understand why..
I'm probably gonna end up using these (in layers)
wine-ge/umu-launcher -> bottles -> OpenGamepadUI
(I'm not very sure what umu launcher should do and if it replaces wine-ge)
You can already use umu with Lutris. If you choose any version of Proton as your wine runner, Lutris will automatically use Proton. One pretty major drawback is that Lutris won't allow you to use winetricks, as umu didn't add support for it until after the last Lutris release. Heroic supports it as well.
I haven't seen the Bottles devs give any info about when they might implement. I'm thinking it might not be until Bottles Next.
AFAIK the Lutris devs are working on integrating umu into Lutris, not sure about bottles though
Yeah, I think the lutris, bottles and heoric developers all work together on umu and will probably try to integrate it on their apps
Never heard of it before. Interesting to see it a new project be more stable than established names such as Lutris.
Did UMU get a launcher? Isn't a Proton "distribution" any launcher can use?
I think the "launcher" part in the name is a bit misleading. I think it is as you describe it.
Man, WINE really brings back the old experience of DOS with building different boot disks to run different programs and games.
Don't forget to enable himem.sys
you don't actually have to do that. for the most part you can just run everything in the same prefix. it's what I usually do.
Just like in DOS. Most things worked with one setup - but you always had that weird game that needed the mtmcdas.sys driver rather than mtmcdae.sys driver or something.
Just a Question for anyone here:
Does anyone here use crossovers software? (It's like a software to get some windows apps running on linux and mac and its paid)I've not used that in years. Didn't even know it was still around.
It is around lol
They( Code Weavers ) do a lot of the work on Proton. I believe that Valve pays them.
Has the Bottles Next Update come out yet?
No, a dev in their Discord said not to expect it this year.
I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it's because I don't know what I'm doing and I'm trying with software known to be difficult.
I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I'd be in really good shape.
