My vote goes to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s a beautiful system, and the most stable rolling release I’ve ever had the pleasure of running. I’ve tried so many different distros, and I always end up coming back to OpenSUSE.


I couldn’t get Minigalaxy to install any of my games when I tried it a year or so ago. I ended up just using Heroic Games Launcher and linking my GoG account to that, works like a charm.


I used PlayOnLinux exclusively a few years ago. It serves the same function as Lutris, essentially, but Lutris tends to be… Better, and easier to work with in my experience.


It’ll be loads easier. The Lutris installer is set up to automatically handle an error that Battle.net throws when you try to launch it, some BS about the way they package their QT platform. It’s just a terminal command away from being fixed, but future updates run a real risk of breaking it again. It happened to me, and I spent ~30 minutes trying to get it to work again before I gave up and just… Reinstalled the damned thing with Lutris, and it worked like a charm.

Speaking of Diablo, I got a notification while I was typing this message… 😂


Personally I like to have as few launchers as possible for my games, lol. I have Steam and Lutris right now, but I’ll probably install Heroic at some point for Epic Games content. I prefer the UI of Heroic to Lutris for GoG/Epic games, plus it’s stupidly easy to claim the free Epic game from Heroic. I haven’t tried it from Lutris to compare.

As I said in another comment, I probably would just run Steam/Heroic if it wasn’t for World of Warcraft. Lutris is the easiest way to get it up and running on Linux.


Lutris is great especially if you have games that need a little tweaking that aren’t a part of Steam, GoG, or Epic. If all your games are on one of those three, I’d stick with Steam/Heroic personally.

Lutris is the easiest way to get WoW up and running on Linux, for example. If it weren’t for that, I probably wouldn’t have Lutris on my PC.
