I couldn’t find a recent topic on this, so here goes. I synched my GOG library just fine and can install and open games from the Lutries client. However, the same does not work for my Steam library. I have linked the Steam account via my Lutris account, and have set profile and games to public (this was also required for it to work on my GOG Galaxy on Windows, and that works just fine).
I do run a Linux installation of the Steam client too since I figure installing and running Linux games through that one is smarter than via Lutris. Does this affect the synchronization?
Hi,
The sync for the Linux Steam client source is done by the Lutris client, completely independently of the website - you don’t need to login to the website “sync” at all.
Enable the Steam source in the three bars → preferences → sources (not the windows one) click the person icon next to the source (same as you did for GoG) and follow the steps.
Once your library and playtime are set to public in your Steam profile, Lutris will populate the games/installed games in the same way.
Oh - be sure you are running a reasonably up to date Lutris!
Hi. Thanks for the advice. However, I might be either blind or just stupid, but I can’t see what you describe.
Since I installed Lutris about a month ago I would think my installation counts as being reasonably up-to-date. However I am very new to Linux in general and Lutris in particular.
Hi,
Well neither. The Linux Steam client needs to be installed for it to show up as a source.
Are you running a recent Lutris? Maybe the flatpak version?
When Lutris finds the Steam client, you should have a Steam option like this: -
Well this makes sense then. My version seems to differ a lot from what you show me. I thought I had it installed via the Flatpak, but I am honestly not sure how to update it without uninstalling it and installing it again. I tried checking for updates via sudo apt update, and didn’t see any updates for it there.
If you have flatpak Steam installed…
Something like “app/com.valvesoftare.Steam/x86_64/stable” in the list of 20 options, geez!
…then the Lutris (should) pick it up as a source automatically - at least it did for my test.
As you might expect, because flatpak is its own thing, just run “flatpak update” 
Thank you so much for your help and your patience with me! I am sorry about being so clueless, but I decided to kind of just abandon Windows and give Linux a try. So far the only real issue I’ve had was games.
I ended up deciding that the whole Flatpak thing didn’t really make things easier for me, so I deleted the Flatpak Lutris and installed it without Flatpak, and lo and behold. It works just fine.
Another learning experience for me.
