Great article. Interesting you went with Heroic, as a relatively new Linux gamer I do find Lutris easier to work with since most of the settings have toggles. But I have both installed anyway haha
I actually did use Lutris but while doing some research for this people told me to give Heroic another shot, many saying that it replaced Lutris for them. I tried it for a bit and I agree, Heroic provides a simpler experience I think most people will appreciate.
Aside from having better QoL like automatically downloading game images and first-class support for Epic Games and GOG, it's less confusing when adding drm-free games. Lutris scripts are also a bit of a sore spot for me because I found that they're often outdated and can cause more issues than they fix when you're trying to run something.
Obviously it's all preference but I think Heroic won me over and I'll stick with it unless I specifically need the wall of options Lutris provides.
