I want to run certain applications that are Windows only, and I wanted to know if there is any sand boxing as most of the programs that are Windows only tend to be invasive. I know VMs are another option but there is usually a performance toll with that and I am running a low to mid range laptop
Try Bottles! It’s a well designed app that allows you to create and manage Wine environments. It’s released as a Flatpak, so it benefits from sandboxing (especially if you harden things with a tool like Flatseal). https://usebottles.com
