Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    That’s odd because I’ve had a ton of luck adding random crap to Lutris including obscure model railroad software

      Could you elaborate on your process/give me a link to the guide you use(d)?

      I would love to be able to mod certain games again.

        I generally prefer to manually install and update my own mods so I’ve never tried running a mod manager in Lutris, but generally the thing you want to be mindful of is if you have everything running in the same wine prefix that needs to interact with each other. Each wine prefix is kinda isolated from another, so when you change which wine version (and therefore prefix) launches a given software, it loses all of its stored data from the appdata folder because that was left in the old prefix
