I’d like to try the new Assassin’s Creed and Avatar, but they’re not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I’m not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton.

Do you have any experience with Ubisoft + Lutris? Is there an equivalent to ProtonDB to have an idea how well a game runs?

I tried Bottles, it would not work without installing FlatSeal and telling it where the UnityPlayer.dll was. Even when I tell it which directory to run in, it cannot find the dll. So much fucking around.

Bottles makes everything waaay overly complicated with it’s isolation.

I installed Lutris and had absolutely no issues. It just worked first time. 5 minutes, 0 fuckery.

Honestly I just installed in from flatpak and called it a day and never had issues. maybe your specific game has issues but it’s been hit after hit for me, especially useful for the games I don’t own on steam.

I concur. Bottles just works for me. I hat to tinker a bit to get Avatar working, but it just works and with no performance problems apart from my Desktop Environment crashing after 4 hours of playing. But I think that’s a different problem. :/
