    2. [FEATURE] Automatically download cover/banner from SteamGridDBOpen

      I saw on the Lutris website that you are no longer accepting modifications to the games due to a lack of people to moderate. In the case of covers/banners, wouldn't it be more interesting to automatically download them from SteamGridDB and stop depending so much on Lutris.net?…

      lutris -e " " (--exec) runs the command but the client never exits. The command completes, its output is printed, and then the process stays alive until it is killed. That makes --exec unusable from scripts. Same with a bare ./bin/lutris -e "/bin/true". A throwaway profile…

      The current repo description ("Lutris desktop client") doesn't say what Lutris is or what it's about, so the repo is harder to find in search results and less clear when the link is shared. My suggestion is: Open-source gaming platform for Linux. And maybe, if you feel like it,…
