Hi, I’m interested in switching from Windows 10 to Linux, but I was wondering if there is an alternative to Playnite. I would like to have a game launcher that has the following features:

  • Support for Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, GOG
  • Support for xbox / ps4 controller
  • Support for emulators (such as Dolphin, RPCS3, etc.)
  • Tracking playtime

Any suggestions? The only one I’ve checked out is Lutris, which does not have controller support :(

    Pegasus frontend (I think, you’d need to look into it yourself) ticks all your boxes, and can be themed to look incredible but the setup process is highly involved.

    Personally, I gave up on it. Seems like a great program so you might think it’s worth the effort.

    Part of the reason I gave up, I should say, is that I’m using my pc as a home theatre device as well as a games console. I went with kodi and advanced emulator launcher instead, which was similarly involved (I had to write very basic shell scripts for each game, apart from the emulated games) but the difference is I was already using kodi for my live tv and video streaming interface
