  • I'll try LaunchBox as someone other has suggested, but Playnite currently of August 2021 has not really a counterpart on the Linux side. The developer is aware that some people like to have a Linux version, but he is waiting for a stable UI framework which also works on Linux (see https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/issues/59). Personally, I would really fund him for implementing this anyway :)
