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.

Quoting: Belaptirthat have their own Launcher?

For example on Battlefield 4 Steam page there is this warning: Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required.
Only Battle.net account requirement is mentioned on OW2 page.

Quoting: ElectricPrismConcerns like this are why I have completely separate Linux Gaming Rigs from my work rigs. ( and why I prefer immutible root for certain use-cases like gaming )

Linux versions of anti cheats do not have unlimited access to your system unlike Windows, why do you feel the need of seperating your systems?

Super efficient firmware that only takes 0.76s to POST.

Looks at his PCs with 10 second boot time, jealousy intensifies...

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHmmm . . . how fundamentally incompatible with Wine?

AFAIK UWP apps use totally different APIs which aren't implemented in Wine so to get an UWP app running, a lot of functions should be added to Wine. Nobody has bothered to do this yet.
