I use lutris and steam.
I’m thinking about making a game launcher in LISP that uses YAML files to manage games.
I use Playnite.
Back in 2019 I wrote a small CLI launcher in Rust (rusteam on GitHub). At this point it has barely any features and is poorly written, but I have plans to return to it.
Playnite is great! Love the open-ended scripting it accommodates
GNU
bash
Steam and Cartridges
Actually I’ve only use Steam. But I thought of making some short of CLI launcher in bash or shell script. In order to play and keep organized my native, non-steam, Linux games.

I used gog galaxy 2.0 until steam support died one day then switched to playnite. Took a lot more configuring but it’s p robust and I’m techy enough to have figured it out, I like where I landed but galaxy 2.0, if it works again, is a great option.
Steam. I know this is kind of silly but I pretty much stopped playing Rocket League because it annoyed me so much having to log into Epic Games’ separate launcher and keep the launcher logged in and updated as well as the game itself. GTA: Online requires a Rockstar launcher but it isn’t very intrusive so I don’t mind it.

Why a dot-folder? Is it just because it appears at the top in most file managers? Or are you actually trying to make it less visible?

Steam have given me the better compatibility. Lutris has disappointed me too many times. On rare occasions I use Heroic Game Launcher, itch, and Minigalaxy.
Heroic and Steam. Lutris I’ve used but nothing ever “just works” when I’ve tried it, and didn’t feel like wasting brain cycles learning configuration for another piece of software
