Is Lutris only managed through desktop mode? (programming.dev)

Hey all, got another question. Is Lutris only managed through the desktop mode or is there some sort of plugin you can use to manage it?

I use Lutris on my desktop and know about the option to add a Steam shortcut. Anything else SD specific that needs to be done?

Cheers

Afaik yes, Lutris is a desktop only app. I'm not aware of any plugins. I use it both on my linux desktop, HTPC for gaming, and deck.

I would recommend setting your games up and then trying to start them a couple times from Lutris. Once you're happy, then add the shortcut to Steam and pretend like Lutris doesn't exist.

I don’t use lutris, but you could add lutris as a non-steam game in desktop mode so it pops up in gaming mode. I do that with Firefox so I can use the web without having to jump back and forth.

Yep sweet no worries. I thought that would be the case. Thanks mate.

Once you've added lutris to Steam, you'll be able to launch games through it from game mode. However, I would only try to install new games through it in desktop mode, due to the number of windows it opens during installs.
