The download page says of Flatpak:

> This is the most supported and tested release of Bottles.

and AppImage:

> AppImage is broken, we are investigating, please use Flatpak in the meantime.



Parent is right though: Flatpak version doesn't allow the creation of .desktop files for Windows applications. It's a mysteriously silly decision, as you don't even get the option even if you manually give the flatpak the correct permissions.

Even worse: a bug in the Flatpak version prevents the launching of Windows applications directly from the commandline, so you can't even manually create .desktop files for it!
