PayPalLutris is an all-in-one open source game manager for launching games from various stores on Linux and emulators too - with multiple new versions released. We had v0.5.21 on February 24th, quickly followed up by v0.5.22 early this morning.
These two releases should hopefully fix up a number of issues that have been reported since the 0.5.20 release last week.
The actual changelog for v0.5.21 appears to have vanished at time of writing, but from the Internet Archive:
- Add Sniper runtime support — runners can execute inside Valve's Sniper container (Steam Linux Runtime 3.0)
- Add ShadPS4 runner
- Add Xenia runner
- Dolphin-emu runner updated to use AppImage (fixes libavformat dependency issues)
- Add collapsible sidebar sections
- Provide a sort for uncategorized games
- Fallback icons for sidebar buttons when icon theme is missing them
- Add Python version to System Information
- Read host os-release in Flatpak for system info
- Add more storage types
- Fix GPU UUID detection returning wrong GPU on multi-GPU systems
- Prefer most descriptive GPU name from vulkaninfo — fixes Intel Arc GPUs reported as "Intel Graphics"
- Add defensive check for vulkaninfo option lines with no "="
- Fix ghost categories persisting after rename
- Fix sync_media returning attempted count instead of successful
- Fix VDF parser handling of escaped quotes
- Fix Wine-Wayland warning — warns on Wayland only, not X11
- Log but continue for individual file errors in ZOOM Platform extras
- Add migration to move Proton versions from runners/proton to runners/wine
- Fix broken translations and add .po validation to CI
- Add Portuguese (Portugal) language support
- Update Spanish and French translations
- Strict mypy typing added across util/ modules
- Minimum Python version set to 3.10 in several places
- CI: add plucky (25.04) and questing (25.10) to PPA builds
And for v0.5.22:

I started off with Lutris for my GOG needs. For the most part it worked fine but I would have issues with certain games failing to install due to the install scripts that get used. I eventually tried Heroic and have had no issues, both on my Steam Deck and on my Fedora KDE machines.
I'm glad there is the choice of both for folks but Heroic gets my vote for a reliable and simple GOG installer.
