How to install Windows software on Linux [Step by step] 

Here is an easy method to use many Windows programs & games in Linux. This method won't work for every Windows program out there, but it will allow you to install and run many of them.
In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process step by step so you can use Windows applications in Linux using a Linux app called Bottles.
Bottles uses Wine and Proton in its back end to create environments to run Windows software in Linux with ease using Bottles' graphical user interface.
I should mention that this method won't run all Windows software. There are some programs that require more Windows system resources than Bottles can provide.
For the walk-through, I'll demonstrate how to use Bottles by installing Ableton Live LE in Peppermint 10.
This method works in most Linux operating system that can use Flatpaks.
Some of the Linux distros Flatpaks can be installed on:
● Ubuntu ● Arch ● Peppermint OS
● Fedora ● Debian ● Manjaro
● Endless OS ● CentOS ● Garuda Linux
● Chrome OS ● Solus ● Zorin OS
● Red Hat ● Gentoo ● OpenSUSE
● Linux Mint ● Pop!_OS ● Elementary
● OpenSUSE ● EndeavourOS ● MX Linux
(and many more)
I've successfully used bottles in a few of the operating systems listed above but haven't tested it on all of them.
