I already have heared about Bottles sandboxing capabilities, but, how this differs from standard Flatpak sandboxing system? Is really secure execute any Windows Software using Bottles? (yes, every machine have his vulnerabilities blah blah)

    Honestly, I wouldn’t even trust them. If the malware’s goal is to get into your local network it will have achieved that on a virtual machine. And as far as I know there have also been ways to break out of a virtual machine. Probably fixed by now, but who knows what else lurks there.

    Just don’t run software you don’t trust.

      I don’t trust in any Windows Application at all, but I think this doesn’t mean I need to live under a rock. This is the reason because I open this Post. So thank you for you help and your time :) You are very cool.

      I think is a good option play videogames in a Virtual Machine when is possible. But I just want to feel “more secure” when I need to play in my host machine, for example, using sandboxing.
