Been chewing this since yesterday. Okay, here is my two cents:

  • yes, what LLM companies are doing is a problem. So dropping anything that has anything to do with their products is a sane way to make a statement
  • yes, LLMs can be used effectively in development. Whether Lutris author has been using them well - I don't know. Guess won't bother to check either, have other things to do
  • yes, doing the stunt with "good luck guessing what is what" is bullshit

Net total, given I've already dropped GNOME because of their culture: guess now I am dropping Lutris. Not because of AI per se, but because of "fuck you" move

What's the replacement for lutris?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

I've already replaced lutris with Heroic launcher + proton and wine-ge a year ago.

Lutris install script already didn't work >50% of the time for me and battle.net always completely corrupts and messes up after a time on lutris and I have to reinstall it every few months, but has been going a year strong on heroic.

You can also always look at the lutris install scripts and install those components in heroic via winetricks. They were made by the community anyway.
