OpenBoxGL brings Steam, Heroic, Lutris, ROM folders, and standalone games into one local Linux library. Browse artwork and metadata, keep launch profiles on your machine, and switch to a controller-ready Big Box mode for the couch.
I built OpenBoxGL after getting tired of bouncing between launchers and ROM folders just to find a game. The library stays in plain JSON, so it is easy to back up and move. I am looking for feedback from people with mixed PC and emulated collections, especially around imports and controller navigation.
