Lutris version 0.5.20 introduces several enhancements aimed at improving user experience and performance, including automatic updates for Proton-GE through umu and Wine's support for Wayland to reduce latency. The update simplifies media handling by allowing users to paste URLs for cover art directly in the game editor, along with a new global folder setting for emulator BIOS files in Preferences. New features include the "Azahar" runner for retro games, a "ZOOM Platform" source for cloud gaming, and a "Steam Family" source that adheres to family sharing libraries, along with minor UI improvements. Users are also advised to ignore the optional "ptyxis" terminal feature unless they are developing custom scripts, while most will benefit from the smoother performance and cleaner workflows introduced in this release
