Game and app installation is more refined than PlayOnLinux and Lutris offers a comprehensive launch experience for other apps like emulators.

Worse version or Steam and Proton but with more hassle and headaches. They had good idea but implemented it in a terrible way. Devs don't see problem with anything...

This developer has political messaging on its profile picture on fosstodon (https://fosstodon.org/@lutris), an open source project should be neutral, not a space for personal beliefs.

It's lovely, that all games from consoles, Windows, DOS, Amiga etc. are easily playable without hassle of selecting and tinkering with libraries and emulators. Only the games database could be open-source as well.
