Lutris Linux game client
Lutris is a game client that allows you to install and run native and Windows games on Linux. Not a commercial service. Provides a convenient way to run games inside Linux.
The program is a game client. Allows you to combine games from various sources in one application. For example, you can import games that were purchased and downloaded to Steam. Lutris does not copy games, but only ensures they run.
The program creates optimal settings and corresponding scripts for each game, which allow you to run both Windows games and native Linux games. Third-party components are used to launch, for example, Wine or DosBox.
