EVE in a Bottle (Linux Multiboxing, But Easy)

Multiboxing in EVE Online no longer stands between you and Linux.In this video, I show how I use Fedora to set up a Bottles environment to multibox EVE in. T...

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

    While very cool, this kind of thing makes me glad I’ve never touched EVE

      Honestly, I totally get that. But for what it’s worth, the game is more than just maximizing efficiencies like this. This is just a crazy case for me.
