I'm new to Linux, and just heard of this launcher recently. (self.heroicgameslauncher)

What is the difference between this and Lutris? Is there one reason I keep hearing about this launcher over and over and over this past week?

I thought Lutris launched all the games?

Heroic is my preference on my Steam Deck. I can easily get into it to install / uninstall any of my Epic/GOG games right to the non-Steam portion of the games library.

I liked Lutris when I used it on my old laptop, but it's a little more fiddly, I only use it rare games now that aren't covered by everything else (like last time I played WoW, Lutris ended up being the best way to install / launch it).

I have heroic added to Steam (ironically) but it works well so I can launch it easily from both desktop and gaming modes.

(just set it up recently because Control was free on Epic for Christmas, the hdr mod works great on the OLED)
