I’ve got a substantial library of games on GOG and Epic that I wanted to play on the Steam Deck, and I’ve used the Heroic Launcher with some success to access a lot of my libraries on those two platforms, but managing the compatibility per game is a bit frustrating and sometimes after an update things break.

Can anyone else share any success or failure stories here? The only other place I’ve seen this discussion was on Steam itself and I wanted a non-steam take on the practice of running non-steam platform games and what works.

    I played a few games from both Epic and GoG with success. I use Lutris and install the games in the desktop mode. Checking first on lutris web site helps with managing the expectations. Not having community layouts is a bit of a bummer but I add a few of my adjustments if needed. Also note that, I am not talking about AAA, heavily optimized, or online games.
