I really like Heroic because I don’t want a separate app for each store. It’s already annoying enough steam is a separate app.
I understand that, a playnite style launcher to get all your game in one place would be awesome
Yes, I’ve searched and found nothing like Playnite.
I am still hoping for the cross platform feature that may be for the roadmap after the next big release
Check out Cartridges. It’s simpler than Playnite, but works great for just seeing all your games in one place.
I haven’t been keeping up with the Linux gaming launchers space … do I understand that Lutris has been surpassed?
I think everyone has their favorite. I’ve been using Heroic for anything not-Steam.
Mmm they don’t mention achievement support…
Heroic has some basic support with Comet, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Is it worth using over Heroic? Is there a use case where this works and Heroic doesn’t?
I don’t think so, no. It seems like it’s just a simpler installer that focuses on one service, instead of several.
Assuming it works as advertised, I would use this one, in part because it’s not a bloated Electron app like Heroic. (This one is written in Python, and presumably not so wasteful of system resources.)
Ah. So Linux hangups.
I’ll thake that as a no, then.
Looks good, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a compelling reason to use this over Heroic, if you already have that installed.
I mean, Heroic straight up doesn’t work for me and I have no idea why. I’ve resorted to launching GOG through Steam and then installing and launching games through that. But it’s mega cursed so I might give this a go.
You could also try Bottles.
I’ve never tried Bottles before. Does it differ meaningfully from winetricks/protontricks? That’s what I normally use to manage wine prefixes. Never managed to get GOG working with winetricks tho.
Oof, that is bad.
