Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?

You should be able to select “GE-Proton(Latest)” as your runner in Lutris. But if its missing for some reason, github.com/gloriouseggroll/proton-ge-custom

I haven’t noticed any major issues between using Lutris and Steam for the games I play.

Lutris is definitely the strongest contender, and is mostly based on the same compatibility technology.

  Meh, I like Heroic better personally. It’s a preference thing at this point between the two of em IMO

    Yeah, Heroic is good but sadly it only supports gog and epic. Not everything is from those stores, sadly.

    It supports GoG, Epic, and Amazon, but it also supports installing games manually, which has worked for literally everything else for me so far.
    
    I used to use Lutris, but in the last year or so Heroic got so good I stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, it’s been at least five years since I tried Lutris last time. It’s probably matured alongside Proton. Honestly I started moving all my non-Linux games over to Linux after getting a Steam deck and seeing how good well it worked.

I don’t mind leaving my Steam games in Steam but I would like to run some of my Windows titles e.g. GOG titles, Guild Wars without relying on the Steam network being up. Is Heroic the way to go?

  If Heroic doesn’t work, Bottles is usually my go-to for GOG games.
