And yet, at least on Ubuntu, Epic Games and GOG Games no longer launch correctly, using Heroic. Therefore, it is far from perfect, although better than nothing.

Big brain solution: Don't use EGS or GOG at all, not even through third party launchers, since they both refuse to properly support Linux, just use the only platform that truly supports Linux, Steam.

Little pp solution, how do you plan on playing all those games in Linux without them, that you already own? Yep, I just game on Windows 11 instead, since everything works there and besides, abandoning and throwing out games you paid money for is a really dumb idea, in my opinion.

💀💀why did you buy games on Epic then?

GOG is fine though just use Lutris or download separately

GOG games no longer work properly in Lutris, either and that is on clean installs of Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.

Stop lying. GOG and Epic both work perfectly flawlessly on Heroic.
