"How To Easily Install and Run Windows Applications on Linux - Complete Guide"
In this video, I cover how to install and run applications originally developed for Windows on Linux using Bottles.

Bottles is a GUI front end for Wine, a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD.
Wine itself, works by translating Windows API calls into calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods such as virtual machines or emulators.
In other words, it emulates the environment that an application needs to be run in instead of virtualising the entire operating system.
Normally using Wine requires use of the command line, but projects such as Proton or Lutris are completely GUI based and are two of the best tools for playing Windows developed games on Linux today.
So where does Bottles fit in, well technically you can use it to play games on Linux, but I would not recommend it as Proton and Lutris do a far superior job.
Instead, I would recommend using Bottles to install and launch standalone windows developed software that does not have a native client.
1. Installation.
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com....
To install Bottles, I would recommend using the Flatpak method, as this appears to be main release channel for the software and contains the most up to date version.
Plus, since Flatpak is distribution agnostic, all you need to do is follow the instructions on setting up Flatpak for your Linux distribution, and then install Bottles from Flathub.
Once installed, launch the application.
2. Usage.
The first time you run Bottles, it will download some dependencies, so let it do that and you will be eventually greeted by the default interface.
To create a new Bottle or Wine instance, click on the Create a new Bottle button.
Name your Wine bottle, and choose one of the following options, Gaming, Application or Custom.
In this example, I will be installing Notepad++ so I will be choosing the Application option.
From here, click the Create button and Bottles will start the create the Wine prefix, and once this is finished, you will see the Bottle created screen, so click the Close button.
Next, click on the entry, in my case, Notepad++, and click the Run executable option which will bring up a window where you can select the installation package, and start the installation process.
After installation has finished, click on the back arrow at the top left, which will bring you back to the overview page.
Once again, click on application entry, and there should now be a listing under the Programs section, so click on the play button to launch the application.
You are now running a Windows developed application on Linux using Bottles.
