No. Lutris is an inconsistent mess of botched amateur level UX. I can barely stand to look at it after using Playnite.

I use steam for everything I can, and bottles to manage my wine environments for anything else.

I’m perfectly happy with lutris and it does everything I want it to do.

After configuring everything there I just import them into cartridges for a minimalistic launcher

Lutris is a passable wine environment manager, surpassed by bottles.

My issues are with using it as a library manager and launcher, which is what Playnite is. Lutri’s UI is absolutely atrocious for actually browsing your games. You don’t use it for that either, apparently.

Everything Lutris does that I might need, is done better by other applications.

At this point, I want to try Playnite + Bottle and see if it’s a suitable combination. Someone is already using this combo? Pro and cons?
