I'm having trouble finding Lutris on my system (lemmy.world)

So I've rebooted my Debian computer, having installed, run, and used Lutris to run a GOG game. It worked fine.

Problem is, now Lutris has seemingly disappeared from my system. Despite existing in dpkg, and seeing the app "installed" in the Debian software manager, I cannot find a way to run it.

I have attempted to run it in three ways:

  1. Press the windows key and search for Lutris. This worked before. It works on literally every other app too. Nothing shows up, except the Lutris page in the Software manager.
  2. Check the Lutris page in the software manager. I can see that it's installed and has a delete button, but no button to open the application.
  3. Click the "Show Applications"/Launchpad icon in the Dock, and try to find Lutris. It doesn't exist here anymore.

I'm scratching my head. Does anyone know what happened to Lutris on my Debian distro?

Lutris is a python application, you can do git clone on the GitHub repo and you car run lutris from there. This will also use your config files as they are stored in your home directory.

On an additional note, install the locate package. It will create an index of ALL the files in your computer. Making searching for files a simple task.
