To me, Lutris has always been a very stubborn application.

  • Saying a game is running while its not
  • saying a game is not running while it is
  • unclear library override versioning (whats the difference between disabled and Manual, why can't I provide my own version from the UI directly then)
  • hard to troubleshoot as I cannot see at a glance how Wine is invoked and the logs tend to be hard to read inside the logs popup window
  • hard to see what winetricks is trying to do when invoked from it

Yet, when I say it gets the job done I mean it. But the program itself adds some more headaches, yet I need it as I don't know how to do half of what it does from a terminal and/ore scripts only.
