I would really like to ditch Steam in favour of a native GTK application which integrates better with my system and which is also libre software.

Does anyone know how well it works? Can I truly replace the Steam client with this or does it still have a lot of lacking features?

The thing with lutris and gamehub is, that they do not replace steam. It drives me mad that they are considered game launchers, and I guess it is true if you buy your games from gog, but if you have steam games, lutris/gamehub is pretty much steam launcher, not a game launcher.

They make stuff simpler in a way though, like gamehub and lutris both enable gamemode by default, while if you only use steam you need to set manuallu every game to do so. But idk, it still feels much cleaner to me than using gamehub to launch steam which launches the game.
