I don't entirely mean to throw rocks, but there's something funny about them dragging their feet so long on supporting a linux version (8+ years) that by the time their personal breaking point with windows came, they discovered themselves on the other side of the issue with no one to blame but themselves. Maybe a parable.

Oh hell yes. Playnite was easily the biggest loss for me in switching my home theatre PC to Linux.
Steam Big Picture mode is solid, and I've adjusted to it, but I definitely miss the ease of integration for other launchers and emulators, and some of the more powerful scripting options, easy art adjustments, etc.
I would definitely take a look at this and consider switching back, and it'll make it easier to recommend Linux to my friends who still use Playnite on Windows.
I've never heard of this tool. Is this basically lutris for windows?
If they do, it would be great. I love the customisation of Playnite for game details as well as the plugins.
Very nice.
While I do enjoy Steam Big Picture I wouldn't mind having an alternative, specially one that comes with customization built-in Versus Decky Loader and CSS Loader which can break at any time.
Finally!!! Playnite was amazing when I used to be on Windows. Unfortunately no Linux tool yet has the extendability and usefulness Playnite has. Looking forward to seeing this on Linux eventually. It really is amazing for unifying game libraries and has decent almost Steam Big Picture-like skins too.
I'm using pegasus rn with a script to auto download images for the games. It works but everything is manual.
