    This is wonderful news. Bottles is the best WINE GUI out there, in my humble opinion. It’s a shame the project uses Github, though.

    I don’t know what’s difference between “PlayOnLinux” and “Bottles” because this duo packages just Wine manager in steroids

      What does PlayOnLinux do differently than Bottles?

    Is this a compatibility layer like WINE?

      I believe it’s a container system for WINE (hence the name)

      It’s more of a prefix manager

    I like Bottles. And it’s good for us to have options.
