Bottles 62.0, a Wine prefix manager for running Windows apps on Linux, introduces Dynamic Launcher portal support and adds detailed progress reporting for backups and restore operations.

Bottles, an open-source tool built on Wine that lets users run Windows applications and games on Linux with a user-friendly GUI, has released version 62.0.

A key fix improves GPU detection for devices categorized as “Display controller.” Previously, some graphics hardware in this category was not properly detected. Version 62.0 corrects this, improving compatibility across more systems.

The release also adds support for the Dynamic Launcher portal, which allows sandboxed applications to create and manage application launchers (.desktop entries) on the host system. This improves integration with desktop environments, especially in Flatpak setups.
