I love EVE Online, but “multiboxing” was tricky for me in Linux. I like using the CLI for everything I can, but get completely swamped still when dealing with cocktails like Lutris, WINE prefixes, and dependencies.

So I was super interested when I stumbled upon Bottles - it seemed to solve a lot of my issues. Then, I realized GNOME’s workspaces basically did the same thing as the old Windows program I used… and that was all she wrote. It worked perfectly for me, why overthink it?

I recorded my newbie solution to (hopefully) convince other players to switch. Do you have any advice or corrections for me? Did I make a cardinal sin? Is this the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen? Hit me with your honest takes. <3

    I quit eve after the subscription increased.was fun while it lasted, but probably won’t go back. My hot take: the cardinal sin is having to multibox to enjoy eve.

      I never multiboxed and had plenty of fun. You dont need a trillion ISK to enjoy the game.

    “Room-temperature IQ.”

    Still playing Eve in 2024.

    Multiboxing Eve in 2024.

    I get the abusive relationship you have with Eve, but you have to get out.
