I find Lutris so extremely annoying. I feel like sometimes it just never does what you tell it to do. Bottles is even worse, I simply feel like I am being crippled in possible actions you can perform.
Is your issue that Lutris is buggy or limiting? I haven't encountered buggy behavior in Lutris, and it gives you a ton of options. I like some parts of bottles but I would really like to be able to change cover art without editing a config file, lol. It's definitely the easiest way to get started with Wine though.
There's Heroic Games Launcher too, by the way. It has less features than Lutris but it's probably easier to use? It's also prettier than Lutris, I think. What issues were you having with Lutris?
Lutris is a constant PITA throwing meainingless error code 256s.
Started doing this some months ago and caused that I'm not able anymore to play my favourite games from GOG, despite all efforts to work around it. Just plain old stuff like AD 1602 or 1503 don't work anymore.
