LinuxNext has a nice long video about it.

My understanding is that lutris is actually in maintenance mode (still around but not being updated) so this is meant to be a replacement for that... and bottle is a more general purpose tool without the gaming enhancements, hence this is being promoted these days.
Yeah... that may be the video I was mentioning as being very clearly inspired by pewdiepie... That approach where it is clear they are emulating children's shows because they want an audience with the attention span of a goldfish.
But it also isn't even really a good one for showing off what Faugus actually brings to the table? Installing ubi and ea is definitely nice. But he spends more time telling people he pirated games than actually showing off anything Faugus provides on the individual game front. And the reason why Lutris took off so much is that those community scripts actually were REALLY nice for not having to care what settings to use in wine or what TPLs are needed and so forth.
Which gets back to it feeling like more of a replacement for Bottles than Lutris.
