    I never really used Lutris, but I liked what it was for so I never removed it, but when the news broke I went and took the 3 seconds to uninstall it

      And how do you do that? Everything I saw said “Don’t, it’s too difficult. And if you do, your system will just run worse than if you ignore that it exists.”

      I’ve enjoyed Bazzite in my first few months off of Windows, but between this and a few minor annoyances with just how immutable an immutable distro is, I’m having second thoughts on my choice of distro.

      Last time I’ve tried Bazzite, Lutris was installed as a system package, so you can’t easily uninstall it without rebasing the system image

      Personally I didn’t like Lutris’ reliance on Proton and the Steam runtimes, at this point I could just use Steam directly as my launcher for third-party titles

        What exactly are the alternatives? Wine isn’t optimized for gaming and Wine-GE isn’t being developed anymore in favor of Proton-GE.

        Lutris is much more light-weight than Steam, which is basically just six chrome processes at this point.
