I’m planning to move to Linux in 2026 after P11 is done, and since Playnite is my personal blocker for the move, I will try to make some Linux version in 2026. Definitely not fully featured version on parity with Windows version of P11, and probably desktop mode only, but something daily drivable with Linux specific features (Wine/Proton integration for example).
If that goes well, I’ll start looking into P11 Avalonia porting proper say I mentioned in previous update.
Nvidia
Try CachyOS or Bazzite and do not stray from defaults. If it suggests you use the legacy Nvidia driver, you say “yes sir” and do as it says.
A huge fraction of linux trouble comes from picking a distro with bad defaults, or messing with good defaults.
It seems they are planning to move: https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/issues/59#issuecomment-3542246599
