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.
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!
