What the **** does that mean???

It means that if you go for support for an issue on their GitHub project.

Issues · bottlesdevs/Bottles

Run Windows software and games on Linux. Contribute to bottlesdevs/Bottles development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

That if you create an issue and you are not using the flatpak version of Bottles that they won't support you with your issue.

Wine Is Not Emulator

Acronym- all the letters SHOULD be capitalized.

Someone somewhere has poor

Alas, the project owners themselves use 'Wine'. I've used WINE for a long time because that seems right by me. However, they use 'Wine' and I'll defer to them from here on out. Well, until I forget.

I figure it's their project. They can call it anything they want. I mean, it is their project after all.

WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS

Open Source Software for running Windows applications on other operating systems.

www.winehq.org

Though, if you look at the WineHQ logo then you'll see it is capitalized. In the text referring to the application they've chosen to use 'Wine' instead. There was probably a meeting about it, but I did not attend. I did briefly look for a reason for this but there was nothing forthcoming.

Nobody has mentioned AppImage -
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.

Zoom has an AppImage here - https://github.com/probonopd/Zoom.AppImage/releases

More info here - https://appimage.github.io/Zoom/

I'll come to this later on, after I have my Swiss Cake Rolls

LOL Not quite true but close enough.

That's probably their best bet. Good thinking! Until about 30 seconds ago, I hadn't even thought of there being a Linux version. Everyone always mentions Windows so I just assumed. Well, we see where that got me.

HAVE ANY OF YOU NOTICED THAT I MOVED ON TO VIRTUAL BOX???

An AppImage is supposed to run on any OS.

If you're going to install Virtualbox...install if from here...
https://www.virtualbox.org

You'll see this...

You'll say...how do I know which one to choose...just run this command and you'll see...

Easy.

Yes! Yes! Absolutely!

I trying to get an answer to this very question when a tiff about Wine and Bottles ensued! No one realized I moved on!

Thank you!!!

I just downloaded it and it runs on Manjaro. It even found my Zoom settings!

Some apps flickered, but clicking on those stopped that.

Thank you!

I don't think that's correct. A quick look confirms that they don't run on MacOS, Windows, or iOS. It looks like it doesn't work with Android, as well. I think it only works on Linux distributions that have support for it.

However, that's what I learned from Google. They could be incorrect.

If you're going to install Virtualbox.

Easy. View attachment 25163

So from you're example I would download installation files for Ubuntu 22.04 as outlined in 'red'.

I heard that it was indeed correct. And from several sources.

But I can't verify that. All I have here is Linux and a 32-bit XP Pro PC.

But that's a moot point.

Gemini says that you're correct!

Have any of you noticed that the OP, that would be me by the way, has moved on from enumerators???

I"m talking about installing Virtual Box on Linux Mint 22.1

I started way back at Post 17

 

[Mike-BTU]

In summary: AppImages are built for Linux and should work on the vast majority of desktop Linux distributions, provided the necessary FUSE libraries are present and the architecture matches. They do not run natively on Windows or macOS but can be run within Linux environments hosted on those systems (WSL on Windows, VMs on macOS).

I heard that it was indeed correct. And from several sources.

It seems that in the 20+ years AppImages have existed, they've only worked with some Linux distros.

I believe most of the desktop type distros can be configured to support them. The smaller and embedded stuff probably could support them if the devs built it in, but they don't have things like easy package managers.

But, I'm not seeing any support for other operating systems.
