From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Could you compare it to lutris?
Way better UI, no hussle with configuration, flatpak support is seamless. Very good experience over all, such a smooth game adding -> configuring -> playing experience.
I agree with FarLine that bottles is way better than Lutris. I still believe Heroic launcher is better than bottles for Epic/GoG/Prime games, but Battle.net and sc2 for example was so much easier to get up and running on bottles compared to lutris!
