+1 for Bottles. Have been using it for a while. Its excellent. It also has an inbuilt task manager, command line access, and so on for a container/bottle.



> It also has an inbuilt task manager

This is part of WINE. You can access it via

  wine taskmgr
or if you have some specific WINEPREFIX in mind (including, for example, one associated with some Steam game that runs via Proton), you can use

  WINEPREFIX=/path/to/prefix wine taskmgr

> command line access

This is part of WINE, too. You can access it with

  wine cmd
or launch it in your favorite terminal emulator with

  konsole -e 'wine cmd'
or

  xterm -e 'wine cmd'
or whatever. And you can launch it for a specific WINEPREFIX the same way as described in the taskmgr case, above.

Bottles definitely seems better than dealing with this manually, to be clear. But those two features are part of WINE itself! :)
