my bad hope this is right

My initial suspicion was that it was some random bug with the video driver, but I managed to more or less replicate the problem in a virtual machine. It seems that the software manager from mint is erroneously removing certain components when uninstalling flatpak apps. The solution is to uninstall and then reinstall bottles to restore the missing components as well.

flatpak remove com.usebottles.bottles -y && flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles -y

Until they release an update to fix this, I recommend that you do not use the software manager to uninstall any app that indicates it is a flatpak.

Try switching the video driver (via driver manager) and check what else may have been modified on your system recently besides installing heroic, especially regarding updates.
