I literally just discovered this like....... 5 minutes ago. So, this thing called Lutris is a games manager that has an online web base for native linux games, ScummVM, Wine! I just installed League of Legends and its running PERFECTLY FINE! I don't have to do it my hand anymore! Theres a config already made!
Other than being a replacement for steam and playonlinux and scummvm all at the same time, I know literally nothing about it. BUT, I am excited. I told myself I wouldn't play league again till I could play it reliably in linux.
I've never had much trouble with ScummVM and I don't mind using Steam. And don't mind just running DRM-free games directly.
However I tried Lutris as a frontend for Libretro... and Lutris leaves many configuration things where they aren't accessable.
I was also having issues with Retroarch not saving/loading configs properly (causing sporadic results), so at this point I pretty much hate Libretro and wish Vulkan-compatible emulators where stand-alone instead.
That's kinda a fail on Libretro/Retroarch's part, but Lutris not being a good GUI when the entire point of it is being a GUI is a big issue in itself. You can't even set BIOS files using Lutris IIRC. The setting just doesn't exist.
I don't expect it to do everything. I expect it to allow me to configure everything at least. The Lutris people know you can't input a BIOS file, they suggest using a BIOS-less emulator.
Configuration is sort of why I find the whole idea silly (particularly Libretro), I don't find any problem with needing to use+configure different emulators. Retroarch is a pain to use, let me use the mouse!
When Overwatch ran successfully under WINE for the first time a few months ago, it was easy to test it out yourself with Lutris. Awesome stuff being done with it!
