How is this compared to Lutris? Especially for Epic Games and GOG titles.
The benefit is that you launch games from Steam rather than Lutris
Lutris and Heroic can both add steam shortcuts so you can launch from steam directly.
Is there any benefit to switching? Right now Heroic works well enough for launching any Epic/gog games I want
I use heroic now, but whatever works best at the time. Wish something would be better at setting/searching controller configs.
On mine, these shortcuts cause the game to run behind the steam loading icon, invisibly. :(
Okay. You can easily do that with Lutris as well by just adding a non-Steam game. So if that’s the only real difference then I’ll stick with Lutris. Thanks.
