PlayOnLinux 4 als Linux-Alternative zu Lutris
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
PlayOnLinux 4 is a functional replacement for basic Wine management but falls short for power users. It handles automated prefix creation and library installation well, making it suitable for casual gamers who need simple one-click setups. However, it lacks the deep scripting flexibility, Proton integration, and multi-store support found in Lutris. If you rely on complex custom scripts or non-Wine compatibility layers, Lutris remains the better choice. For straightforward Wine-based game launches, PlayOnLinux provides a sufficient, if less flexible, alternative.

There is no direct file compatibility between Lutris and PlayOnLinux. Lutris uses its own JSON-based configuration files and directory structure for game definitions, while PlayOnLinux stores its metadata in a separate internal database and uses its own prefix naming conventions. You cannot simply copy Lutris configuration files into PlayOnLinux to import games; you must manually re-install or configure each game within the PlayOnLinux interface.

Can PlayOnLinux run Steam games natively?
No, PlayOnLinux does not integrate with the Steam client. You must install Steam separately and use it to launch games, or use Lutris which has direct Steam integration.
Is PlayOnLinux 4 still maintained?
The latest release listed is from 2020. While it is open source and available in repositories, it receives far less frequent updates than Lutris, so newer games may require manual tweaking.
Does PlayOnLinux support Proton?
No, PlayOnLinux is strictly a Wine front-end. It does not support Proton or other Valve-specific compatibility layers, limiting its use for newer Steam titles that rely on them.
