    Steam can actually be effectively used as a launcher since non-steam games can be added. It also has support for Proton, allowing many windows games to be played on linux.

    Steam actually has an exceptional controller support as well and it can be configured for any software or game, even non-steam ones.

    It cannot launch games from other systems, like DOS, consoles etc.

    It's less buggy and is very intuitive in how to install your games and view the Stores from Epic and GOG. Your game library is clean and and easy to view, install and play. There's no configuration, or very little, needed in order to play your games. Lutris is very clunky compared. So much so, that I installed Ubi Connection as a non-steam game, installed it through Steam and now launch Ubi-Connect through Steam and don't use Lutris at all. It's that bad.

    Not updating achievements, not updating new games on other platforms, new installed games never get into the recent titles gees - this is a mess lately. At least that annoying recommendation page you are pushed into now no longer auto-refreshes... so if you notice something there it at least stays on the screen. I'm literally pushed to try something else - Lutris on Linux and I remember something was heralded as Lutris for Linux.

    As of June 2019, GOG Galaxy does not support Linux and CDPR have no ETA for it. The whole point of using Lutris as a frontend is to circumvent that.

    GameHub is available an AppImage and Flatpak, that makes it easier to use on some distros.

    It does give-or-take all what Lutris can do, and it's available both on Flathub and as an AppImage which makes it real easy to install on elementary os and any other Linux system.
