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
Check out bottles
Bottles is amazing! Been playing most of my Windows games on it.
Somehow i never managed to get anything running on it… I’ll have to give it another try. I’ve always used Lutris.
You need to install the right dependencies, namely the directx & and .net
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
No, not by deafult (some windows viruses are compatible with wine)
You could create systemd services to control wine for each app you want to run, that way you can use systemd’s sandboxing.
You could try Sandwine https://github.com/hartwork/sandwine not used personally but looks like it has enough restrictions built in.
