I can’t install the latest version of Bottles because I don’t have space on my PC to install Flatpacks (it’s like 5 GB!). I can however install the currently maintained version of the v1 Bottles. But it isn’t clear to me how it’s different from the latest Flatpack version. And I did try searching it but I got nowhere fast.
Perhaps someone can tell me how this works?
Which v1 bottles are you talking about btw? The one that comes with your distro?
The biggest benefit to the Flatpak version is that it supports sandboxing of your prefixes. This means that your system is protected somewhat from any malicious Windows programs. It also means you don’t need to worry as much about missing system library dependencies.
