Are actually Bottles secure?
(lemmy.ml)
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)
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.
There's a difference between telemetry/tracking which can at least be limited using an isolated VM, and malware which will attempt to take over your computer/network, so it really depends on why you don't trust the program.
Imo, if you just want to run a program that's made for windows (and you trust that it isn't malware), then a VM or potentially even wine by itself would be sufficient. If you want to run something you think might be malware, don't. No amount of virtual isolation will guarantee protection from malware.
