Should I install each application on it's own bottle, or multiple apps per bottle? If multi app bottles,what is the recomended number of applications per bottle?

The safest, and most basic rule, is one app per bottle. That way, you are sure they won't interfere with each other. There's also the idea of archiving bottles (read backing up), which will certainly easier to do if each app is in their own bottle.

Now if two apps need to interact and are dependant one each other, they should be in the same bottle. The most obvious (or should it be blatant) example is Steam and Skyrim (or any other steam distributed game). If each were in their own bottle you wouldn't go far. 😅

Thanks Jean-Patrick. That is kind of what I thought, but the confirmation is appreciated.
