    Is Bottles actually containerized in any meaningful way? Last I checked it just managed wineprefixes, and Wine is not a sandbox.

      It doesn’t use any seperate layers of containerization other than flatpak. So if you don’t install it via flatpak, it won’t be sandboxed.

      There is also no proper instance containerization (you can enable it in Bottles’s settings, but it’s marked as experimental and I’ve been unable to run a single application with it on), so an app installed on one instance in Bottles will have access to all other instances’ files.

      I could be wrong but i don’t think the wine instances themselves are containerized. Maybe he’s confusing it with flatpak sandboxing, since that is the only officially supported way of using it.
