      I don’t understand why you were getting downvoted for the choice to use umu launcher over Lutris. What am I missing?

        I don’t know either, but I don’t mind, and its up to them.

        Adding a bit of info to my comment: With lutris all I did was playing non steam games. Added an executable, set the wine version to GE or something, and used lutris lutris:rungameid/12 or something like this with a flag that didn’t start the GUI (can’t remember now).

        Now all I do is:

        #!/bin/bash
        export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Games/game-data/battlenet-wineprefix
        export PROTONPATH="$HOME/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-33"
        umu-run "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net.exe"
        

        This is just the basics, I like umu-launcher better, because I have longer scripts that set a lot of env vars, and do other stuff before starting the game. I guess lutris can do this too, but I’m not familiar with it, and its easier to do for me in a bash script.

        I found umu-launcher because of this whole AI included into lutris drama. While lutris has a whole gui and everything that I don’t use, I feel like umu-launcher is exactly what I need, nothing more.

        My guess is that some people have grown a little to attach to lutris. I’m not acustom to this kind of behavior inside the linux comunity
