There is one thing that I miss in this video, a brief introduction to flatpak sandbox side effects. Bottles is a flatpak application and as such it has a sandbox around it, it is very easy to run into file access problems if you attempt to look for a file on a removable drive for example. If somebody is running into read/write access issues I would suggest the following: Move the .exe file inside the bottle, (there is a button on the top right corner to show the bottle files) sometimes exes attempt to create temp files or look for dlls in the same location they are. Launch your .exe "from the terminal", there is a button that will show you a terminal window detailing what is going on instead of silently failing, at least you will have something to look into if it goes wrong. I hope this helps to solve most issues while installing and that you don't have to waste as much time as I did the first time ;)
I can also suggest using Flatseal for a GUI way of changing permissions for Bottles, also including full access to the entire Home directory and even the "/run/media/[username]/" directory.
Bottles is the bomb! Even before Ableton Live was included in the installers list, installing it was as easy as just double clicking the .exe file, not exaggerating.
Good video. The best approach for me is to have a Windows machine for gaming and another machine for Linux. I just don't have the time or patience to keep testing and configuring computers anymore.
Wow! First time someones mentions ArcGIS pro on a Linux video, I do use and prefer QGIS (I'm used to it but sometimes on my work we use ArcGIS and have Windows for that) I hope someday we have a native Linux port or someway to use it without problems
Would you be able to create a bottle with a game and a trainer.exe to run in the same instance? Not sure if you're familiar with trainers, but if you are, it would be interesting to see a video where you got one working.

Do like me, install Windows 11 Pro in Virtualbox running in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, because Windows Apps run best on Windows :) My $349 PC from 2019 contains; Ryzen 3 2200G; 16GB DDR4; 512GB nvme-SSD.

today o i tried 2 different programs on bottles. guitar pro 8 works office 365 - initially didnt get the installer run at all. after setting up the envrironment as win7 it started to install but failed at %58 edit: guitar pro opens only once. doesnt launch second time. but when it opens it performs very well
Bottles for me has been tempermental (Linux Mint noob here). Tried to follow another video to get Battlenet to work never did followed yours for GoG and after 4 tries it finally worked (it just kept erroring out 2/3 of the way in regardless of which Gog launcher I selected).
One of the best solutions: Virtual Machine. If you play old and very old games ( such as Diablo 1, 2 Sierra's Pharaoh, etc. ) and some Windows Apps. If you have enough RAM and use SSD, then good to go.

Bottles are so easy I got it to work to run a few old windows programs pretty easily. But I either need to use a magnifying glass or set the screen resolution very low to read any fonts. Scaling works in windows for these old programs, but not in bottles. Maybe you can edit the registry?
To be honest TechHut, I wouldn't say that the applications listed suck, I mean they have flaws in terms how they would've been designed, and I can say Bottles is not perfect either. I would say Wine, Crossover, and Bottles tend to be good Windows compatibility layers. Though yes, Bottles might be the one that stands on top.

BEST Solutions for Running "Windows" Apps in Linux? Well, they're not Windows apps are they, they're just apps and the best solution is to go tell the developer if they want your money they need to support the system you're running or you'll go elsewhere. Not to devalue the amazing work that has been done to make it work on Linux but maybe its time we started voting with our wallets rather than banging our heads on the wall.
That is way easier said than done. There are programs out there that just straight up do not have a Linux equivalent, so if you want that particular functionality you either go with what the developer provides or you go without. One example for me personally is that I like to use my pc to watch my bluray collection, and to the best of my knowledge there is no player on Linux that can play BDs because they require proprietary software to decrypt.
