I’ve got Steam pretty dialed and working great. EA App is also decent but not sure I like Lutris that much. Got Epic and GoG set up on Heroic, but other than a few modern ones, games from either don’t run that good. If I understand correctly this is cause they’re using Wine and not Proton.(?)

Would adding these games to Steam using the third party games function effectively make them use Proton like they’re steam games?(I find conflicting information regarding this) Or is there a way for Lutris and/or Heroic to just use Proton out of the box?

Running Nobara KDE.

Edit: Got Fomo, installing Fedora 42 right now. Testing out Bottles!

    Oh, I misunderstood completely what Wine Manager actually is it seems like. Though that was just a configure tool for Wine.

    I’ll have a look. I like Heroic’s interface WAY more than Lutris

    Edit: Would you look at that, if I only actually looked in that menu I would have tried it already. Giving it a go now

      Well, these launchers can be a bit confusing at first, but you will get used to all that. And if you still have questions, that’s what the community is here for.

        This community has been mind-blowingly helpful every single step of the way so far. At this point I cannot see myself going back to windows. Other than the few things I use that won’t work obviously.

          You can take the windows installer from GoG and run it in a bottle, but honestly Heroic is much more convenient for that. Bottles works for any local game installer though, just like Lutris, but it has a more accessible interface, and once you’ve installed games you can add the shortcut to the bottles library which gives you a tiled view like Heroic.
