  • This would be interesting for when you have to number something and have very limited space and don’t want the arabic numbers to be written too small.

    I mean lets be honest, this technique is a couple hundred years old and was never adopted or even widespread. So ofc the method we use today is the superior one.

    But this is very interesting and fun to play with. For everyone doing TTRPG or LARP this is a cool concept to integrate.



  • No, bottles is just a program that enables you to use wine much more comfortably.

    Wine isn’t super hard to use, but it’s annoying. So stuff like Bottles and Lutris exist, both basically do the same. They give you both a GUI and much easier accessable settings for the wine-prefixes. Those prefixes basically are just folders with the faked windows stuff in it.

    Lutris is made for games but can be used for programs too. Bottles is made out of the box for both games and programs, has a much more streamlined interface and workflow and lets you easily create new “bottles” (bottle is just the given name for a wine prefix) for each of your games / programs.

    Putting everything in their own bottle / prefix is really handy because it allows you to modify the prefix for each application without ruining it for another. If you need a specific version of a certain .dll file for one game but not for others, you can just install that .dll file in the specific bottle / prefix for that one specific game, and the other games just use their own bottles / prefixes with the default .dll for example.

    Very handy.

    Bottles is usually more recommended because it’s more streamlined… Also the dev of lutris seems quite toxic and isn’t good with making friends in the scene :D
