Lutris furfils several roles that a bunch of .desktop entries will not.

  • Its a list of games
  • you can search it by title
  • you can tag them
  • you can sort them in different ways
  • you can use wine for some launches, proton for others or native

although i don't use it, you can log into your steam account (i think also gog?) to get access to games from there.

Think of it, as a more of a plex/jellyfin library for games than a bunch of video files spread around your hdd. I don't want to remember which games are wine friendly and which need proton or are linux native.

Oh poop, been using lutris and it was pretty good at what it was doing for me. What might be alternatives though?

To a complete surprise of no one with a working brain cell...
