    I've installed a number of different things on my PC. Almost all are still just self contained .appimages which I don't even need to create a shortcut of, I can just keep the app image where I want it and use that.

    The only time I've ever added any programs go lutris/steam is when its not a native Linux program, and in that case, yeah, I expect to do some fiddling because it wasn't meant for Linux in the first place. This also has the added benefit of letting me use controllers
