its nice as a console. boots right into steam, start game with controller, bam. Since you can get Lutris games added to your steam library, there are so many game and platform options available.
bad: yeah you need to tinker around with a couple of games so they run right. Some only start with the specific proton version, some just take very long to start, some dont like the steam overlay, etc. But once you have them set up, its the best.
