Lutris is a tool that helps you install and manage games on Linux. It supports native and Windows-only games (by using Wine and DXVK), as well as emulators.
Steam included Proton recently, a Wine-based compatibility layer that allows playing Windows-only games on Linux. But that's for Steam games. For others, like Blizzard games for example, you can use Lutris to make playing Windows games on Linux easier.
Using Lutris is quite easy, but some things are not intuitive while others are not mentioned at all on the Lutris website. That's why I thought I'd write a guide to help new Lutris users getting started with using this application to play Windows games on Linux (via Wine and DXVK).
Requirements for using DXVK with Lutris:
You'll need to install fairly recent graphics drivers, which may cause instability or it may even prevent your system from booting. Any PPA mentioned in this article may cause issues. Use it at your own risk! That's why I didn't add the commands for adding the PPA repositories directly in this article. You need to know what you're doing before using these PPA repositories!
You need to install the Vulkan libs.
You'll also need a Vulkan-supported graphics card to be able to make use of DXVK. A list of supported graphics cards can be found here.
