Well, since I run them in Linux, they’re basically sandboxed in an environment that most malware isn’t made for, so as long as I’m downloading from reputable sources like Fitgirl or DODI, yeah. I figure my chances of picking up a virus from a source like that, given my setup, is highly unlikely.
That is not entirely true. You can still get windows viruses true wine. And wine isn't sandboxed.
I think he mean bottle(flatpak) when he talk about sandbox
