I'm optimistic about this -- I've got a Steam Deck and both my personal computer and work computer run Linux, and I still struggled to get Bottles to actually work effectively for running most programs. I'd use Lutris + Proton for games that weren't on steam. Excited to see what comes out of this and happy to see them caring about accessibility and a more usable GUI.
If you’ve been a long-time Bottles user, you’ve gotten used to frequent releases that brought lots of new features and bug fixes. However, over the past year, this has become less frequent. This is because Bottles, like many other projects before it, has reached a point where implementing new features without making drastic changes to the codebase is no longer possible. This doesn’t mean Bottles is stagnant; it’s far from it. We’re still adding small features and fixing critical bugs that don’t require a complete codebase overhaul.
What is Bottles Next?
Bottles Next is our response to the needs of users and the market for running Windows software on Linux and MacOS. We’ve redesigned Bottles from scratch to address all the issues and shortcomings that are currently unresolvable due to the existing codebase. The Next project is designed for scalability and extensibility over time, with the goal of avoiding the need for another complete rewrite.
This is really exciting. I think bothered is a fantastic piece of software... It definitely has it's quirks where it doesn't work the same as lutris or regular wine but it's still pretty awesome....

Looking forward to these new changes.
