I would really like to ditch Steam in favour of a native GTK application which integrates better with my system and which is also libre software.

Does anyone know how well it works? Can I truly replace the Steam client with this or does it still have a lot of lacking features?

    I’d also love to replace the Steam client, but both Lutris and GameHub require it to be installed to work. Out of the two, I I’d go for Lutris. It has much more active development and has it’s install scripts feature. I also have a lot of games on itch.io and would love to ditch the Itch electron client. GameHub has Itch game support whilst Lutris is still planning on implementing it. The problem that I have with GameHub’s implementation is that the games library is refreshed every time I reopen the app, instead of just caching them and having a refresh button like what Lutris has. This means that I have to wait a good 40 seconds every time I open it to be able to access my library, and it’s still really slow to get game thumbnails
