Lutris
Lutris is a game client that allows you to install and run native and Windows games on Linux. It is not a commercial service. Provides a convenient way to run games inside Linux.
The program is a game client. Allows you to combine games from different sources in one application. For example, you can import games that were purchased and uploaded to Steam. Lutris does not copy games, but only ensures that they run.
The program creates optimal settings for each game and the corresponding scripts that allow you to run both Windows games and native Linux games. Third-party components, such as Wine or DOSBox, are used to run it.

- Lutris creates special scripts for each game with optimal settings that allow you to install and run this game on Linux.
