HTPC Gaming friendly Environment

[TecXero]

I've been running Kodibuntu on my HTPC. It's fine and all, but adding a game to easily be launched from the Kodi interface is a bit of a pain. Even then, Kodi sometimes glitches out if focus is taken away from it.

I'm wondering if there's a front-end that's friendlier with ubuntu friendly games?

There's always Steam, someone put together a little plugin together for Kodi that will minimize Kodi and open Steam in Big Picture mode, then maximize Kodi when you exit Big Picture Mode. And, of course, you can add any games you want to Steam.

Huh, that could work. I generally avoid Steam but I do have a Steam account (due to not knowing what it was when I bought the Orange Box) so I could do that. I know Steam allows shortcuts to be setup in it. I'll try it out, thanks.
