Install Lutris On Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa Linux

by

Lutris is a game manager built for Linux operating systems, and it does its job incredibly well. It has thousands of games in its catalog and works with very little fuss, allowing you to install games from the cloud and keep them up to date. Most games are “one click install” titles, meaning that you shouldn’t have to worry about fiddling with extra configuration to get a Windows game working on Linux. It just works.

Lutris requires Wine in order to ensure a smooth experience. The two work really well together, and that’s because the developers of Lutris also work directly with Wine staging. Since the Lutris developers already program their installers to use the most optimal settings possible, there’s no need to fool around with Winetricks or any of the usual wine configuration utilities.

If you’re ready to start gaming on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa, follow along as we setup Lutris and its dependencies on our system. If you’re using Debian, you can also check out how to install lutris there.
