Been chewing this since yesterday. Okay, here is my two cents:

  • yes, what LLM companies are doing is a problem. So dropping anything that has anything to do with their products is a sane way to make a statement
  • yes, LLMs can be used effectively in development. Whether Lutris author has been using them well - I don't know. Guess won't bother to check either, have other things to do
  • yes, doing the stunt with "good luck guessing what is what" is bullshit

Net total, given I've already dropped GNOME because of their culture: guess now I am dropping Lutris. Not because of AI per se, but because of "fuck you" move

What's the replacement for lutris?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@slrpnk.net 9 points 4 months ago

I've already replaced lutris with Heroic launcher + proton and wine-ge a year ago.

Lutris install script already didn't work >50% of the time for me and battle.net always completely corrupts and messes up after a time on lutris and I have to reinstall it every few months, but has been going a year strong on heroic.

You can also always look at the lutris install scripts and install those components in heroic via winetricks. They were made by the community anyway.

For games. I have replaced it with steam as you can load none steam games and run them under proton. I have had great success. Outside of games I'm not sure.

I’m pretty sure neither is pure? I mean, you don’t have to necessarily limit steam to games. May as well try non games and see what happens.

Build one yourself

Didn't look for one yet. As I understand, there is a thing called bottles that is worth a try
