PlayOnLinux 4, alternative Linux à Lutris
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
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.
