On the horizon is the ability to use other digital distribution platforms which is a very exciting prospect. The store fronts are still accessible with the ability to grab free games or buy new ones from the interface. If you hate digital platforms constantly trying to constantly promote games, you’ll welcome Heroic. Given the fragmented digital distribution markets, Heroic is an essential tool for any Linux gamer. Not all Windows games work with Heroic though particularly games that deploy anti-cheat systems. And Heroic is much easier to use than the official Epic Games Launcher. While it’s definitely not as smooth an experience as say Steam, the interface works well. There are many good touches to the program such as themes support. There are a wide range of game settings available, a useful wine manager, and good documentation (which can be viewed within the program). It’s quick and simple to set up, import and play games. Heroic is an excellent tool which warrants our strong recommendation. And at the same time it automates many things which helps you test different versions of Wine and other assorted tweakes (which are necessary for some games). One of the strengths of Heroic is the ability to get under the hood and install tools like FSR, VKD3D, DXVK, WineCFG, Winetricks and more. Proton improves performance and compatibility. If you’re new to the Linux gaming scene, Proton is a collection of software and libraries combined with a patched version of Wine that lets you run Windows games. But courtesy of Wine, a compatibility layer that aims to allow application software and computer games developed for Microsoft Windows, the games run under Linux.īy clicking the cog icon under each game, we can choose the Wine version to use including Proton.

We’ve connected EPIC and GOG accounts and installed a selection of games with the tool. If you’re still living on the dark side, the project provides binaries for macOS and Windows (with a portable version for Windows too). This cross-platform tool runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows. And there’s an AppImage so you shouldn’t find it difficult to install the software whatever distro you’re running. The project provides packages for these distributions as well as for Fedora. We tested the software under both Ubuntu and Arch.
