Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Am I missing anything by using lutris?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used to make Lutris install scripts. In general, I find:

  • Lutris development mostly stopped
  • Lutris has more restrictions on what games can be uploaded
  • There's a huge delay between uploading a new Lutris script and it being approved

If it works for you though, keep using it

I've never had a Lutris script install anything without a ton of tinkering. I started using Bottles for GOG Galaxy to install games and do far it's just worked.
