Have you checked out Bottles before?

I haven't used it myself in forever, but IIRC this was another bigger attempt at this kind of thing.

I tried Bottles a long time ago, on a regular x86_64 distro. I remember it suffered from the same problem I described above: it either works out of the box or not at all, and you can't do anything about it.
On my Macbook Air I couldn't try Bottles at all, as the version from the repo doesn't install (complains about x86-32 dependencies not being available) and the project doesn't provide an AppImage that I could extract and try running under muvm, as I did with Heroic.
True, I was never able to get bottles running on my daily driver
I'll probably give this a try, thanks!
But I'm confused about your explanation: you say you didn't wanna contribute to the existing project at you didn't know dart/flutter. Then you end up creating your project from scratch, using dart/flutter to learn dart/flutter. Why not just contribute to the existing project, or fork it, instead of reinventing the (same) wheel?
In my mind, learning a programming language is better done by doing something from scratch with it. Trying to understand someone else's code while learning the language it's written in is way harder!
Does this work for gaming / 3D apps and can it use proton or some for of acceleration?
I tried using wine to play a game but it ran at like 10 fps (direct x9).
Good question. So far I haven't put any effort to make sure it picks a discrete graphics card over an integrated one. That's because my daily driver machine only has an integrated graphics card and I am mostly interested in retro gaming. In future, I plan to take a look into this.
Wine Bar does support Proton, and should it use hardware acceleration by default, it may be all you need. Give it a try and tell me how it went!
I LOVE the name
