i did try Heroic recently but i just found it too Clunky for me to use in the Sense of its UI sadly :(
Also i dont like using Electron really >.>
Do you by chance know of some Workaround that is maybe even automated to a degree? :0
Best Thing i found so far is editing the .desktop File and extracting the icon from its exe using icoutils which is kinda combersume and annoying to do manually :P
I'm not a fan of electron either but the sad truth of the matter is that I could not get Lutris to do what Heroic did do for me without issue. Lutris might need more developers to integrate icoutils in a way which could help you and others, but it doesn't seem like anyone is in a hurry to code that together right now.
You could write a bash script to do the actions you're now doing manually? Bash is not too difficult to learn. Most of the syntax is human-readable and there are plenty of resources to go around to help you learn the basics.
