Lutris maintainer use AI generated code for some time now. The maintainer also removed the co-authorship of Claude, so no one knows which code was generated by AI.
Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.
Great, hope people like Electron because Heroic is pretty much the only other option, that or just manually putting everything in Steam.
There’s also bottles… But I’ve only had a mediocre time with it.
Bottles is OK but has a pretty steep learning curve. I have found it more reliable than Lutris now I’ve figured it out.
I hate bottles with a passion.
Fun fact: there is no way to write a script to install bottles if not installed, and then install a game to it without opening the GUI and having the user close it at least once.
Man, that is rough. I’ve only ever used it for Battlenet to get diablo installed and even then I think I gave up and went to heroic.
If it weren’t for Valve putting their weight behind proton/arch for their Steam Deck, I’m fairly certain gaming on Linux would still be in a rough state.
I long ago switched to just adding everything to Steam.
Waaay faster and less confusing for general use cases, and, if I want to really tweak the guts of that particular proton config… ProtonTricks.
What if you have something that’s native, ie. Exult for Ultima VII?
Then you just add it to Steam, the .sh or whatever, and then you don’t use Proton.
Or… you… wouldn’t strictly need to add it to Steam… at all… because it runs natively.
There is also this if you are using a Steamdeck, not sure how that would work on a desktop pc: https://sopuli.xyz/post/39131847
Disclaimer, haven’t used it.
You can try Faugus Launcher
I don’t like that electron was used for it because it needs unreasonable amounts of ressources, but Heroic Launcher certainly is easier to use than Lutris…
It sure fu#$ing is. I’ve tried multiple times to get any of my games working in Lutris, but I’m 0 for 3. It looks like ass, works like ass, and now I see it is maintained by an ass with a victim complex.
