Quoting: TheRiddickis there a way to make it discover all your steam games and just at them to the list? or must you do it manually?

Iv'e caught it adding games itself sometimes but never correctly.
You can link your steam account with lutris and list of your games gets synchronized automatically.

Nvidia beta driver 370.23 has initial support for PRIME Synchronization

Read the paragraphs about "Output" and "Offload". Read the sentence "NVIDIA has no plans to support PRIME render offload at this time.". Say "Fsck you NVIDIA! I'm staying with bumblebee." :/

"I really do wish more developers did this."
This.

But looking at this source code gave me cancer. It's like it was written in plain C and someone made a last minute decision to turn this into C++. I call such code "C+-".

EDIT: Well, I should read README before:
This project was a first for both of us in many ways and it shows. Since all of the original code was written in C and hastily converted to C++ in the past few months, experienced C++ programmers may be horrified at some of the kludge we had to write to get some of the more basic systems working properly.
I forgive them :)
