I never understood why people love Lutris so much. I’ve always found it extremely overrated, even before they started vibecoding it.

IMO, Lutris was already an overrated pile of junk before genAI became popular. It tracks that they’re vibecoding it now.

Since you haven’t mentioned it, are there any specific games you’re running into issues with? If so, are these Steam/Proton games, Wine games, native titles, or emulated games?

The whole dual control panels thing in recent versions of Windows has always annoyed me.

why does it need to accommodate compatibility for archaic devices/software?

Because that’s one of Windows’ selling points. It has unusually good backwards compatibility for a mainstream operating system. Compare that to iOS, Android, MacOS, or Linux, where the infrastructure needed to run older binaries often doesn’t exist in the first place.

Linux is a weird case, because thanks to Wine, it actually runs a lot of old games better than Windows, but this doesn’t do anything to help compatibility with older Linux binaries.

I watched a video about those the other day. You can’t just slap Windows or whatever on one; you have to use Linux with a specific patched kernel in order to use them. Even then, there are severe graphical issues with Unity games, and you’re not getting the full performance of a PS5 since these APUs are cut down to a degree.

Here’s the video in question: https://youtu.be/_zbw_A9dIWM
