Got it, so block any further updates till there's a backtrack or a fork.

People shouldn't attack FOSS devs for using AI. You might not like AI, you might not like the AI companies, but it's crazy to attack people providing free software for how they are creating that software. This is a bad path and will only lead to devs burning out, throwing the towel, and then we have less software around. Lutris is a nice piece of software, so good for the dev. And the AI haters should just fuck off.

Is the environment that a launcher like Lutris creates for Wine exclusive, or could I move to a different type, such as Bottles, and still find the installed program I use and its data? I got the impression it just set up Wine for specific needs, and it's actual Wine doing the work, right?

I'm using it for Scrivener, btw.

I had tried to just use Wine alone and fix the settings myself, but it took me running across Lutris to get things functional. I don't want do that trial and error again.

I haven't ever used Lutris but based on another comment I just read, someone said you can just point any other wine manager at the folder of your wine/proton prefixes and it will work the same. Which makes sense, since Lutris is just a manager/frontend wrapper for wine AFAIK.
