It’s rather refreshing to see a redesign that introduces a simplified interface but doesn’t forget about the power users. From a title like “A New Chapter”, I was expecting to see some Gnome-like “Here’s what we’re doing now and you’ll like it”
I had more luck using steam. Adding installer or exe as non steam game. There was only one game that did not work and worked on bottles/lutris. There was a lot more that worked on steam and didnt work on bottles/lutris. And I feel it is a lot less complicated. You just add the game and change comp. settings to proton and thats it. If it was installer, you add the new exe to the steam or edit shortcut.
Am I missing anything by using lutris?
I used to make Lutris install scripts. In general, I find:
- Lutris development mostly stopped
- Lutris has more restrictions on what games can be uploaded
- There’s a huge delay between uploading a new Lutris script and it being approved
If it works for you though, keep using it
I was fully expecting that to be an announcement that they were releasing a paid version or something like that, so this was a pleasant surprise.
