      yes, but its very customizable you can entirely change the ui, add extensions, etc like a completion status

    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 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.

      To be fair to them the whole UI of the program is currently built with a windows-only framework, so a linux port requires a UI rewrite

        AND he does this for free, so we aren’t entitled to anything.

        Also, on another note: Playnite could very well be the first Linux client with RomM support.

    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.

    I’m using pegasus rn with a script to auto download images for the games. It works but everything is manual.

    Very nice, Lutris works great but Playnite’s beautiful GUI is something I’ve been missing since I got rid of MS

    If they do, it would be great. I love the customisation of Playnite for game details as well as the plugins.
