The benefit is that you launch games from Steam rather than Lutris

[–] stanka@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] stanka@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

I use heroic now, but whatever works best at the time. Wish something would be better at setting/searching controller configs.

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

On mine, these shortcuts cause the game to run behind the steam loading icon, invisibly. :(

[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

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.
