I remember some recent discussion in the GamerOS Discord about branding. I got the sense that the devs feel somewhat the same way as some of the comments above and they're open to name suggestions...

This looks like a heck of a lot of fun. Though I also drew Mario levels and gigantic mazes on graph paper obsessively as a kid, so maybe that's just me.

Quoting: MohandevirBecause I use Retropie/Recalbox on mon Rpi2... It's based on Emulation Station... Couldn't there be a way to fork it for desktop use? Like in showing the different store fronts/launchers instead of emulators? Just my two cents, even if I would like, I have no skills in the matter.

Sorry... Just brainstorming, here.

Looks like EmulationStation can be built and run on a desktop already, no forking necessary. I'd imagine there would still considerable work to be done "gluing" the UI to Lutris. But, certainly a neat idea.

Quoting: MohandevirWhat I would like to see is a "complete DE" based on a fullscreen gamepad controlled Lutris UI, for sofa gaming. A Lutris based SteamOS (BPM) concept. Probably an unrealistically huge undertaking for the Lutris team, but it would be awesome nonetheless.

"One launcher to rule them all".

Edit: It's just a wish I have... Else, keep doing your awesome work, making gaming on Linux easier.

There might be a way to use GameHub for this, as it can be controller-driven. Not exactly the prettiest big-picture interface, and it lacks some of Lutris's nice under-the-hood features such as managing multiple Wine versions, but it does integrate with Steam/Gog/Humble and can be configured to launch emulators.

Another approach might be for someone (more talented than I) to write a plugin for an existing frontend (like Kodi, etc) that integrates with Lutris's underlying functionality.

Man, I love the look of this. And it runs so smooth (unlike Starfox)...

Oh, I'd love to win a copy. This would spice up my nightly Dr. Mario competition with my girlfriend, haha.

Quoting: LinasThe games has quite a learning curve. The first time I tried it, I was bouncing from wall to wall like a rubber ball, totally out of control. It gets easier with practice, but I didn't really have the patience to get anywhere near the level where I would feel comfortable. Otherwise, good game.

If I remember right, that's essentially how Wipeout & Wipeout XL were. It takes some time, but once you start to get a feel for it, it's quite satisfying to start winning races.

I've been using it since the last time it was featured here on GoL. I am really enjoying it... the Steam Buddy feature is great (though a bit rough around the edges), and a much nicer replacement for the old Ice and Steam Rom Manager tools which I've had mixed results with in the past.

I always appreciate a good Commodore 64 cameo.

The SteamGridDB (etc) integration is one nice, albeit superficial, feature of GameHub (major props to the artist who made all of these grid images):

All GameHub needs is a "Big Picture Mode" and we could be building a SteamOS-killer around it! :D

Edit: the Itch.io integration is a welcome addition, I'll have to update and test it out.
