The prices are so good, I wonder how they have a stock of refurbed Decks though. High refund rate?

Quoting: SalvatosFinally I can start using "You have a Mac build but not a Linux build even though it has a larger market share" as an argument to convince devs to support Linux
I don't think this will work, most Mac ports were made when Mac had a higher share. (%5?) These days Mac users are ignored just like us by large publishers.

Quoting: amataiI am totally lost with all that game manager.
Steam and Itch.io have Linux clients.
Heroic is for managing Epic, GOG and now Amazon.
Lutris supports everything and the kitchen sink. Use it for anything that isn't from any of the sources above. EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar etc.
Bottles is useful for .exe installers.
These programs have overlapping functions, which means you can use one of them instead of another. I just listed their primary functions.

Although, it's limited on Linux, since we only get a certain level of stuff like Widevine which the Heroic team don't control.
I would expect DRM to be the lowest level (L3 - Software Only) on all platforms on Heroic so we aren't being left out.
