further, heroic games launcher isn’t just for epic and gog games, you can install any exe. i use it for the ea games launcher because the lutris script was broken at the time. and in the wine manager in hgl settings you can choose either wine-ge latest or proton-ge latest (or whatever number version) as your default layer, which you can also change per game/app if you have trouble.
edit: and also you can set it to add to steam so you can still just use steam as your main launcher, for example on steam deck or using a media center rig in big picture mode.
You can use Steam’s proton even on non Steam games. It might work better than wine.
Thanks for the tip!

Also to add, it’s not just for games but any application. Games are just the primary focus.
Yup, that’s something I never realized until now.
