If anyone is interested: I created an installer-script for Lutris, which will install all needed dependencies. It will also configure wine to use a virtual desktop, otherwise the mouse-hover popups will not work. If you don't like it, feel free to disable that.

Let me know if something isn't working, and I'll try to add it.
