It doesn’t have any containerization between instances. There is an experimental opt-in setting for it but it’s completely broken. It’s just sandboxed because of flatpak.
It doesn’t use any seperate layers of containerization other than flatpak. So if you don’t install it via flatpak, it won’t be sandboxed.
There is also no proper instance containerization (you can enable it in Bottles’s settings, but it’s marked as experimental and I’ve been unable to run a single application with it on), so an app installed on one instance in Bottles will have access to all other instances’ files.
Artix really needs an archinstall like script though. Setting it up more than once is really tiring.
