I'm glad they mentioned Minigalaxy, a GOG game launcher that looks simpler than Lutris and lighter than Heroic.

I like Lutris. Haven't tried Heroic, but the configuration menu of Lutris really gives a lot of power

I decided I want to use antimicrox for a game. Started looking into how to pass a script to Lutris, so it would auto-launch antimicrox with the correct file.
No need, Lutris already has that option. You just give it the path and it does it all itself.
You want to set ENVs for game process? There's a table for that in the config.
You still need to launch a script? Of course, it's in the config. You want it ran before or after running the game?
Mind blown

Another Lutris advantage: it doesn't come with all that Electron bloat.

lutris definitely takes the cake when it comes to customizability, but i consider it a bit hard on the UX... especially for new users.

i always recommend Heroic first, and if there are problems then one can use lutris (or bottles in really bad situations) as a backup.

What's the point of doing all of that?

[-] INeedMana@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Antimicrox - to use gyro as mouse. Or use gamepad in a game that doesn't support it

Pre-script - to launch opentrack with the game. Or switch numpad into pad with macros. Or launch EDMC with Elite Dangerous

Envs - even though lug-helper is great, there is some finetuning of Star Citizen that relies on envs

Depends what you need
