Took a break from Minecraft to release Lutris 0.5.18 to the public

https://github.com/lutris/lutris/releases/tag/v0.5.18

LOL! Ok then, it's not like we're losing anything of value here 🤣

the runners we can adapt to Flatpak:

citra
desmume
dolphin
dosbox staging
hatari
retroarch
mame
melonds
pcsx2
ppsspp
rpcs3
ryujinx
scummvm
snes9x
stella
vice
yuzu
gzdoom
xemu

Lutris on Flatpak can now install and run other Flatpaks! This will be a huge improvement in runner compatibility on the Steam Deck!! Also an improvement on build times and overall package size!

And to those who tried to dissuade us from enabling this, you didn't nothing other than making Flatpak look bad.

(This is pre-release for now, stable release coming soon)

#introduction

Hello Fediverse!

Lutris is an open source #gaming platform designed specifically with #linux in mind.

We provide emulators, game engines and other tools to help you maintain your collection of video games.

We provide integration with game stores and launchers such as GOG, Humble Bundle and Epic Games.

Lutris is supported on all major distributions and on the #SteamDeck

All our code is #opensource !

Lutris 0.5.13 beta 1 is available for testing!
https://github.com/lutris/lutris/releases/tag/v0.5.13-beta1

Lots of new stuff: Itch.io and Battle.net integration. ROM import via drag and drop. Proton support, UI updates and more!

The Last Of Us was released on PC and yes, it runs on Linux!

The game requires a powerful CPU, it will struggle at times with a Ryzen 5 2600 but will perform much better with a Ryzen 5600.
Anything above should do 60FPS in most areas.

Not specific to Linux, the performance can take a dip in crowded outdoor areas. Graphical settings make little difference because the game is CPU bound.

On Steam Deck, the game runs at 25 to 40FPS, usually keeping above 30.
