I use more and more Lutris to install / manage my games, it became an essential software for me as a Linux player, it's so easy to change Wine version, activate Dxvk or D9vk, restore Desktop resolution after a game quit, install an emulator and so much other handy options.
I like very much this new features in 0.5.3:
- open wine console
- sand boxing bug resolved, no more games files in your personal folders!
- ResidualVM is now functional for Ubuntu users. updated to last git version.

It's impressive how Lutris team had push their gaming platform to a higher level, very nice work.
But they have to make still effort to avoid obsolete installers (scripts), in most (or new) users minds, when Lutris installers do not work, it's Lutris that does not work...But how manage a games libraries installers that will become bigger and bigger?

I don't think all this games have suddenly Linux native port.
Google should use a wine clone like Valve already does with Proton?

Quoting: XpanderRelease the GOG Galaxy client for linux

not gonna buy anything from them before we are getting treated equally to other platforms

Certainly the Galaxy software is not available for Linux. However GOG had invested a lot in Linux players for several years now: availability of Linux game version when they are available, DOS games packaged with Dosbox for Linux etc ...
They deserve more respect from Linux community.

I follow Flyinghead and Retroarch team work from several years now, their work are incredible.
And they always gave support to Linux gamers, that's why I support them on Patreon.

They should take this decision long time ago...
Nice 1: they refund their game to Linux gamers without the time played RUST
Nice 2: "Take your refund to support others Linux games developpers..." ? Incredible!
Bad 1: They will not plan to support Proton. Why? Is it so difficult and expensive for them to support Proton?

Anyway, on my side, even if they have finally acted correctly, I will never buy a game from this company, just as I will never buy a game on Uplay or Origin: I give my money first to game developers or companies that support Linux, such as Valve, Feral, Gog... I also buy Windows games that are Wine / Proton compatible.

I don't want to boot another OS, even a linux one, to play 32 bits games or launch 32 bits software, I want to launch them on my actual session and the simpler way possible.

Don't panic, I'm sure there will be soon a solution like a "steam runtime" package containing all old needed 32 bits libraries or another solution like "VM". I just hope it will be a simpler solution as installing 32 bits software is hell for a newbie that just want to play his old 32 bits game on Linux.

Soon, Windows or Linux or Playstation...all this platform war will be useless because we are soon all playing by the cloud. So I think Valve invest money in Linux and Wine development just to obtain a cloud games platform without Microsoft. At this step, support will be the same for all.

If it works nice with Steamplay, why the dev should bother develop another port for the same result?
