Oh hell yes. Playnite was easily the biggest loss for me in switching my home theatre PC to Linux.
Steam Big Picture mode is solid, and I've adjusted to it, but I definitely miss the ease of integration for other launchers and emulators, and some of the more powerful scripting options, easy art adjustments, etc.
I would definitely take a look at this and consider switching back, and it'll make it easier to recommend Linux to my friends who still use Playnite on Windows.
