What is Lutris Gamepad UI?
A simple, TV-friendly, gamepad-navigable frontend for the Lutris game launcher on Linux. This application provides a "10-foot UI" designed for couch gaming, allowing you to browse and launch your Lutris library entirely with a gamepad.
Requirements
- A Linux-based operating system.
- Lutris installed and configured with your games.
- For full functionality, a standard desktop environment with PulseAudio (for audio control) and BlueZ (for Bluetooth management) is recommended.
Features
-
Gamepad-First Interface: Navigate the entire application without a mouse or keyboard. The UI provides context-aware on-screen button prompts that adapt to your connected controller (Xbox, PlayStation, etc.) and offers audio feedback for interactions.
-
Organized Game Library: Games are automatically organized into shelves for "Recently Played," "All Games," and by categories defined in Lutris. Game cards display cover art, playtime, and last played date, with dynamically generated gradients as fallbacks for missing art.
-
Seamless Gameplay: Launch games directly from the library. While a game is running, a clean "Now Playing" screen is displayed. A global shortcut (Gamepad Home/Guide button or Ctrl+X) allows you to toggle the UI's visibility without closing your game.
-
Integrated System Controls: Access a comprehensive system menu to manage your device. This includes a universal library search, audio output and volume controls, Bluetooth device management, and system power options (reboot, shutdown).
