      How do I know bro? Its just a matter of taste and choice. I use Heroic because repacks install is just better and yes I pirate few games but not all. And it has a lot of features and ig other launcher have them too.

      I don’t dislike Lutris or any other apps like these. But for me when I tried lutris at the start of my Linux transition 4 years ago, I was confused and didn’t know what I was doing not Lutris’ fault in any way but I found Heroic more intuitive thats all.

      Heroic has built in support for gog, epic games and I think amazon games, but don’t quote me on that. Its all in all very good and at least for me it always worked better than trying to achieve the same over lutris.

        Lutris also has that.

        Maybe it is just a matter of taste. Personally I would never use any launcher to launch my gog games, because I think the whole advantage of gog is to have the game in a convenient zip file.

          There are big differences, Heroic present the gog library in a nice way and supports convenience features like cloud saves (must have with big screen at home and remote gaming on Laptop) as well as gametime tracking, some achievements (dont care about those).

          Its far more convenient than Lutris for GoG and of course you can easily backup your Games.

            cloud saves

            I never needed that since Steam introduced them 15 years ago (or more). It is just annoyed having to wait for that.

            gametime tracking

            Why would you need that? But lutris does this.

            some achievements (dont care about those)

            Yeah me neither.

            of course you can easily backup your Games

            You can easily backup your GoG games by just downloading the zip file.
