Is Lutris even needed to use Steam's dispatcher to decide if a game's manifest says it is Windows-only to then run it under Steam's Proton variant of WINE? Isn't Lutris a Linux game library manager and launcher, and perhaps across multiple sources (Steam, battle.net, GOG)? The video author says Lutris has no documentation. Really? Learning is solely by trial-and-error, or pleading for info in a user community? Before all that, he installed rpmFusion to get all the libs that Redhat doesn't include on which Lutris and Steam Play might be dependent. Install this, a must. Maybe install that. Then install Steam Play. I take it Lutris and Steam Play won't grab, download, and install any libs they are dependent upon. Seems this could be further streamlined for a bigger lure to users to leave Windows. Maybe the chained installs are needed just for Fedora.
