Building upon a bunch of big new features in the first Lutris v0.5.9 Beta, a second Beta is out now with a focus on polishing up the experience that needs more testing.
What is Lutris? It's a free and open source application to help you manage games from various sources. This includes GOG, Humble Store, Epic Games, Steam, Emulators, Compatibility Layers (Wine) and much more. It's a simple way of keeping all your games together in one place. One launcher to rule them all.
This Beta has no extra big features but a focus on readying it up for a full release of v0.5.9.

Quoting: slaapliedjeQuoting: dubigrasuI will use one of the best curses ever.Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, Epic can go screw as far as I'm concerned. But I understand sometimes people want the free games.Not only the free games, I got those alright, but I also bought one: Journey.
This game is a real work of art, I cannot properly describe how wonderful it is to actually play it, not just watch YT videos of it. Is just gorgeous, and it transcends whatever objections I might have against Epic, so yes, I've "sinned" and got it from Epic, no remorse.
The alternative was PS3 store, 30 fps, lower quality and a much higher price, while I got it from Epic for peanuts.
Edit: Why I didn't bought it from Steam? It wasn't available there at the time, some region restriction nonsense.
"May the flees from a thousand camels infest your genitals!" (Bonus points if someone can name the character in a novel that said that.)
"Spills coffee" Ha ha, I have no idea. I know I've heard it before in a form or other...don't know why, but sounds like something Monty Python would say.
