Lutris, the popular free and open source game manager for Linux, has a fresh update out now fixing up some issues and adding in a good bunch of new features.

With this app you can manage games on Linux Desktop / Steam Deck from Epic Games, Humble, GOG, Steam, Emulators and much more.

Pictured - Lutris v0.5.18

Here's all the changes:

  • Lutris downloads the latest GE-Proton build for Wine if any Wine version is installed.
  • Use dark theme by default.
  • Display cover-art rather than banners by default.
  • Add 'Uncategorized' view to sidebar.
  • Preference options that do not work on Wayland will be hidden when on Wayland.
  • Game searches can now use fancy tags like 'installed:yes' or 'source:gog', with explanatory tool-tip.
  • A new filter button on the search box can build many of these fancy tags for you.
  • Runner searches can use 'installed:yes' as well, but no other fancy searches or anything.
  • Updated the Flathub and Amazon source to new APIs, restoring integration.
  • Itch.io source integration will load a collection named 'Lutris' if present.
  • GOG and Itch.io sources can now offer Linux and Windows installers for the same game.
  • Added support for the 'foot' terminal.
  • Support for DirectX 8 in DXVK v2.4.
  • Support for Ayatana Application Indicators.
  • Additional options for Ruffle runner.
  • Updated download links for the Atari800 and MicroM8 runners.
  • No longer re-download cached installation files even when some are missing.
  • Lutris log is included in the 'System' tab of the Preferences window.
  • Improved error reporting, with the Lutris log included in the error details.
  • Add AppArmor profile for Ubuntu versions >= 23.10.
  • Add Duckstation runner.

Interesting, I was hoping for an update on UMU support. There's no .deb file for Ubuntu/LM users yet.

I'm still on v0.5.16 myself.

I guess that "AppArmor profile" bit is related to umu. Also they say lutris downloads ge-proton automatically which would only work using umu.
