Why am I unable to start/run Lutris after installing it?

Recently, I tried installing Lutris and Wine on my machine (which uses Debian 12 as its operating system with a 64-bit architecture and Plasma for my desktop). First, I installed Wine via this guide and everything ran smoothly; there were no errors and I am successfully able to run wine via my terminal. Here are the commands that I ran in accordance with the guide: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings wget -O - https://dl.winehq.or /wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyring /winehq-archive.key - sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/dists/bookworm/winehq-bookworm.sources sudo apt update sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable Next, I tried installing Lutris via this guide and this video (in the video, apparently he just runs the commands found on the guide accordingly, i just though I should include it just in case). When doing so, however, "broken" dependencies were reported via apt, so I ran sudo apt --fix-broken install. After doing this, I again ran sudo apt install lutris, and everything seemed to have worked correctly. Here are the commands that I ran in accordance with the guide (after using --fix-broken for apt install of course): echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/lutris.gpg] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_12/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.list > /dev/null wget -q -O- https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_12/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/lutris.gpg > /dev/null sudo apt update sudo apt install lutris Following this, of course, I tried running Lutris via my desktop, but was told that it could find no such application: xfce warning I believe that perhaps the path used for running Lutris is for some reason incorrect/unknown. I am not very familiar with how Linux runs and/or identifies/recognizes applications nor exactly what Plasma KDE's application settings *for* Lutris (in this case) mean, but as you can see, there is no specified "workpath" (which may be important): plasma-app-settings How exactly would I locate/specify the correct path for running Lutris (assuming this is the problem)? I welcome any help pertaining to this issue (as well as any links to potentially more extensive/capable guides and/or documentation) and it is greatly appreciated. Additionally, this is my first post on this site, so please tell me if this question is not appropriate (or should be formatted differently).
