Last time I’ve tried Bazzite, Lutris was installed as a system package, so you can’t easily uninstall it without rebasing the system image
Personally I didn’t like Lutris’ reliance on Proton and the Steam runtimes, at this point I could just use Steam directly as my launcher for third-party titles
They are thinking about this for a while now, in January they announced: “Lastly and on an unrelated note, we’ve also begun testing Faugus Launcher as a potential replacement for Lutris in our :testing branch. If we move forward with this change, we’ll provide at least six months of advance notice before removing Lutris so you’ll have plenty of time to migrate your prefixes.”
I wonder if Bazzite will stop shipping Lutris because of this
They better not… Its far to fundamental to the system to get eid of it over proclivities about AI.
I would kind of like to be able to uninstall it from my Bazzite box.
I never really used Lutris, but I liked what it was for so I never removed it, but when the news broke I went and took the 3 seconds to uninstall it

What exactly are the alternatives? Wine isn’t optimized for gaming and Wine-GE isn’t being developed anymore in favor of Proton-GE.
Lutris is much more light-weight than Steam, which is basically just six chrome processes at this point.
