I love EVE Online, but “multiboxing” was tricky for me in Linux. I like using the CLI for everything I can, but get completely swamped still when dealing with cocktails like Lutris, WINE prefixes, and dependencies.
So I was super interested when I stumbled upon Bottles - it seemed to solve a lot of my issues. Then, I realized GNOME’s workspaces basically did the same thing as the old Windows program I used… and that was all she wrote. It worked perfectly for me, why overthink it?
I recorded my newbie solution to (hopefully) convince other players to switch. Do you have any advice or corrections for me? Did I make a cardinal sin? Is this the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen? Hit me with your honest takes. <3
Do people still play it?? If so, it sounds like a 40+ friendly game
