Just a tip, if you guys want to containerize games such Epic Games, GoG, or other Windows apps, there is a program called Bottle which lets you do this. Can be a great added layer of security and containerization: https://usebottles.com/
However there is Lutris and Heroic for easier to use alternatives that do not offer containerized security.
Is Bottles actually containerized in any meaningful way? Last I checked it just managed wineprefixes, and Wine is not a sandbox.
I don't know much about it. I tried using it to set it up with Epic Games. There was a lot more manual work than say Heroic or Lutris, but all was able to be done through a UI.
I needed to select my dependencies of C# versions, C++ versions, XInput software, Direct X version, various other stuff. This was done within a single bottle, so I'm guessing they're separate from the others.
To be honest, I managed to get Epic Games running, but had trouble signing it. Not sure what else I was missing.
It also lets you take snapshots of your Bottles state. And provides you with a Task Manager, command line, Registry Editor, Windows compatibility versions (e.g., 10 or 11), toggle OBS screen capture, gamescope, Wayland (experimental), other graphic stuff,
Its got Launchers for many things, like also: Battle. Net, Enlisted, EVE, FL Studio, AutoDesk, Guild Wars 2, MEGA sync, Origin, PlayStation Plus, QOBUZ, Star Citizen, Ubisoft Connect, Wargaming. NET (World of Tanks, Warplanes, Battleships), the GOG Galaxy official launcher.
They show the ratings for the various launchers from within the app, to show its score for compatibility.
Yes, it has different wine instances for each installed application, it uses a flatpak style separation to prevent them from accessing each other.
The reason I'm asking is that separate wineprefixes will look like a "different wine instance" to a layman, but they're not the same thing as a sandbox. Wine mounts the host filesystem under the Z: drive, and even beyond that there are probably ways to escape the Wine environment. For true sandboxing some additional layers will be required.
