Lutris is an open-source desktop game launcher and gaming platform for Linux that unifies emulators, compatibility layers like Wine, and engine re-implementations into a single interface. It syncs game libraries from services such as Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and Humble Bundle, and automates game installation via community-written JSON/YAML installer scripts.

Use cases

  • play all my games from one launcher on linux
  • install windows games on linux with wine
  • sync my steam and gog libraries into one place
  • manage emulators and retro game consoles in one app
  • automate game installations with scripts
  • build a linux-based game console / htpc
  • preserve and run old video games

When to choose

  • you game primarily on Linux and want one central launcher
  • you want automated, community-maintained installers for games across many platforms
  • you want to unify Steam, GOG, Epic, and Humble libraries
  • you want managed Wine/Proton builds and emulators without manual setup

When to avoid

  • you need a launcher on Windows or macOS as your primary platform (Lutris is Linux-focused)
  • you only play Steam games and don't need multi-source management
  • you want a minimal launcher without account/library sync features
