I never managed to run an application usinng bottles :/
I never understood the advantage Bottles has over Lutris
Lutris is for managing games, and can use multiple different engines. Proton is one, but also Linux native games, dos, ScummVM, etc. Lutris also interfaces with popular stores like Steam, Epic, GOG etc. It’s a game and gaming library tool.
Bottles is a general purpose wrapper for Wine. You can run games but also any wine software. It’s a general purpose wine tool.
Lutris makes running games in proton easy. Bottles makes running apps in wine easy.
It’s not a catch-all game launcher.
It’s a wine environment manager. And it is becoming increasingly good at simplying the complexity of setting up wine bottles for different things.
It’s basically winetricks on steroids, with a really nice GUI to boot.
Running windows games is just one use-case.
Yeah, same with Lutris. You don’t HAVE to run games in it, it works just as well with other software
Looks pretty
