  • lutris

    Lutris desktop client

  • You can add the repositories and then install following these instructions, or install some Wine prefix management like Bottles or Lutris. Personally I prefer Bottles as Lutris is more gaming oriented (Bottles is for games or programs in general) and I had issues with Lutris the last time I tested it (I'm not saying it's bad just that I had issues with it).

  • Bottles

    Run Windows software and games on Linux

  • I think Bottles still needs smash some bugs and implement some things it doesn't have yet, but it's a newer tool than Lutris so it's normal for it to have fewer options. Apparently they are currently trying to implement layers, which will make each program or game individual, taking up less space and using different dependencies. I like the way it is going because since I started using it, there are always fixes and new things, so it is a tool that is still in constant evolution, unlike some like PlayOnLinux, for example, which was the most popular when I started to use Linux. As for Lutris, it's an older and more mature tool than Bottles, so the issues I faced really must have been on my side (because of the system or even hardware, which is currently pretty outdated).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
