Title. Just noticed that it has not been updated since a while. Also, what are the best alternatives to it?
Thanks in advance.

There hasn’t been a packaged release in a while. The repo updated last week, though. Not everything needs a high release cadence.
The most common alternative is probably Bottles
Lutris does most of its updates from within the app itself, so it only really needs packaged releases when there’s an update that can’t be done from within itself.
Quite the contrary, the commit log on Github looks pretty healthy.
On what did you base the following:
it has not been updated since a while.
I guess the fact that the last release was in April. Some people refuse to compile their apps even though it’s better.
Eh… It takes a long time and hogs system resources. But yeah, on regular precompiled packages you may have to wait until a new version rolls out.
Heroic Games Launcher has been improving a lot, now having install scripts like Lutris, more platforms available, and a lot less janky than it used to be.
Bottles I don’t have much experience with for games, but it’s a really good program a lot of people use, and if you like Libadwaita apps it’s pretty amazing.
If you only need Lutris as a game launcher (rather than the install scripts, WINE/Proton-GE, and such), Cartridge is a nice little GTK4/Libadwaita launcher too. But it is just that - a launcher, nothing more.
+1 For Heroic Game Launcher. Works very well for me.
another +1 for Heroic. Lutris never worked for me, would only install games but not launch them, and I’m not skilled enough to figure out why. Almost certainly something specific to my setup. But Heroic makes things easy-peasy.
And yeah, if Heoric doesn’t work for some reason, Bottles usually will.
Its not abandoned, it recently got updates and heroic is also a option.

Get the latest version from github, you don’t need to uninstall the package version nor install the git version, just run it.
