This guide will explain how to set up Kodi and Lutris on a HTPC. The goal is to create a fast, light-weight media and gaming system in the same vein as SteamOS, but with Kodi as the interface.

I have earlier created another guide titled Minimal Ubuntu 16.04 with Kodi, Steam & EmulationStation where I tried to achieve something similar. However, I never felt that the approach described in that guide was satisfactory. It relied on launching Steam and/or EmulationStation as separate applications outside of Kodi for playing games.
Using Lutris, however, it is possible to create a much more coherent media center and gaming experience.
There is some flickering in the demo which is due to FFmpeg not playing nice with Kodi. This is not present in the actual setup.

Quote:Lutris is an open source gaming platform for GNU/Linux. It allows you to gather and manage (install, configure and launch) all your games acquired from any source, in a single interface.All games will be organized natively in Kodi and no external applications are ever launched, except the games you want to play!
