The NLnet Foundation revealed more projects receiving funding from NGI Zero Commons, which includes the popular Bottles app for running Windows apps on Linux.
Not heard of the NGI Zero Commons Fund before? From the NLnet Foundation it's designed to help support free and open source software. They receive financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme, the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme and even the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
In the announcement from the Bottles team they note it will go towards work on Bottles Next, as they're rebuilding the software to improve all parts of it. Back in early July, the Bottles developers put out a call for more support, so it's nice to see it answered.
While a lot of people use software like Heroic and Lutris, Bottles is just another tool in the box that you can use to make running Windows software a little bit easier.
