    As much as I love my steam deck and the os, I do wish it was slightly easier to install third party games.

    I know it’s not hard and I’ve installed plenty, but like it’s so incredibly easy with steam that it’s made me lazy to even install games I already have on gog

      It’s not Linux or SteamOS, but both Epic and CD Projekt don’t support their store client apps and launchers on Linux sadly, such we have to use unofficial ones such as Heroic Game Launcher

        But gotta admit, its a damn good launcher! If i had to use windows again, I would install it instead of the other two for sure!

      It’s actually pretty easy with lutris and bottles. The same process that I do on my arch machine works on the decks desktop mode.

        Oh, I’ll check this, because I’ve just been installing the games through adding a non steam game through the desktop and it’s a bit annoying

          I’m sure there’s a guide for it. All you need is either lutris or bottles and flatseal if you’re installing on the SD card.
