This week on Destination Linux, we are joined by a true legend of the open-source world: Mathieu Comandon, the creator and lead developer of Lutris. We dive deep into how Lutris became the "One Launcher to Rule Them All," managing everything from GOG and Epic Games to your retro console emulators.

Mathieu gives us the inside scoop on the new Playtron partnership, the UMU (Unified Media Updater) initiative and we even discuss how Lutris helps non-gamers install apps.
Plus, we tackle the Discord Debacle, are chat apps losing their way?
