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

      Honestly, I totally get that. But for what it’s worth, the game is more than just maximizing efficiencies like this. This is just a crazy case for me.

    For context, “multiboxing” is running multiple clients at once, and usually stacking them on a single monitor and rapidly flicking through them with a program like EVE-O Preview to activate commands with the mouse in short order. It is allowed in EVE, it is not against the TOS. Some people multibox with tiled windows, or one per monitor, though, because they prefer it for various reasons.

    and I just figured out how to get eveopreview working.

    ive been meaning to figure out a good setup with KDE activities that would work similarly. it would be nice to have always on window previews too.

    EvE was nice before f2p. Now it’s a botfest with 1 man army.
