Comment on Mathieu Comandon Explains His Use of AI in Lutris Development (my interview!)

@PerfectDark I used to really like Lutris. Clean, simple, and very minimal (unlike, for example, Heroic.) But it has been kind of falling behind in a lot of ways lately. It still defaults to their ancient implementation of WINE instead of Proton (or did last I used it) and it seemed to be really hard even to get it to properly use a modern Proton/Wine-GE somehow. (I couldn't say exactly why, but somehow it just doesn't work as well.)
While they keep things small and mostly do the real work themselves it will be fine, but it seems people who push it like this ultimately go the "vibe coding" route. I hope not. I'd still like to see Lutris remain on the map, but if it reaches the point they start handing it off to Claude it will inevitably eventually become unsustainable. We'll see.
