  • I’ve basically done this for games and other programs using this desktop file:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=Run with Bottles
    Comment=Run directly with bottles
    Icon=com.usebottles.bottles
    Exec=bottles-cli run --bottle Gaming --executable %f
    Terminal=false
    NoDisplay=true
    Type=Application
    Categories=Utility;GNOME;GTK;
    StartupNotify=true
    StartupWMClass=bottles
    MimeType=x-scheme-handler/bottles;application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msi;application/x-ms-shortcut;application/x-wine-extension-msp;
    Keywords=wine;windows;
    X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true
    

    Save as runwithbottles.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications And remember to change --bottle Gaming to whatever bottle you want to use.

    Now you can run any .exe by double clicking on it. If you associate it with ‘Run with Bottles’ This needs bottles to be installed, but allows you to run executables with Proton or Proton-GE too.
