Anyone using a launcher?
Right now there's Steam, Heroic (Epic, Gog), Itch, Gamejolt, Humble, etc. Nothing really integrates all of them except GameHub and it's inactive and doesn't have EGS support.
-
Any Third-Party steam clients?
Some that I have found: - GameHub (Neat project, but does not support the usage of proton or wine for steam games - PlayNite (Only supports Windows at the moment, Linux support will come some time in the future) - steam-tui (A little too bare-bones for my taste)
-
What frontend do you use ?
Attract mode and GameHub also support adding other games besides emulated ones.
-
App ideas for GNOME (GTK4) Vala?
Idk if this is up your alley, but gamehub is a program I use daily and from what github reports, it's 95% vala.
-
New user here; in my opinion, Linux gaming is already nearly identical to gaming on Windows
Bonus: Since you mentioned GOG and some ROMs, check out Gamehub, it's a game launcher (like Lutris) that combines gog, itch, humble, steam and emulators. Looks really nice and its pretty easy to use. Specifically for GOG it has a way to automatically download and install the games on your account.

GOG finally remove the false "in progress" note about GOG Galaxy for Linux
I use GameHub for managing Gog games, it even has joypad support.
-
What are your must-have software for Linux gaming?
I'm a stickler for UI consistency, so I keep all my games on GameHub. It's a bit more involved to get a game going there (compared to lutris install scripts) but I love that its basically portable and easy to restore after a reinstall (or copy the games and prefixes to another machine). It clumps my GOG, steam, native and emulated games all with the same tall boxart (like steam's newer library)
-
Is there any way to make playlists or add user-made tags in Lutris?
The app itself is quite good, but not as practical or functional as Lutris is or Steam, but you can give it a chance (you can use Proton/Wine, emulators, native, with it). If you download the Appimage format it doesn't need even any install (just make the file executable an run it). The main repo is in GitHub -right here-
-
Itch.io: Bundle for Ukraine 998 items lots of native and proton compatible games
I personally use Gamehub but I think Lutrus has embedded different stores into it's main UI. You can also add local games to steam but it doesn't have the flexibility of the other two in my experience.
-
GOG: There's no official GOG support for SteamDeck. But since the device has an open architecture, as we understand, you can install Windows and as such also run GOG games.

The worst part of the Steam Deck? Launchers.
For most of them, use Boilr. Sometimes it doesn’t work, or the launcher isn’t supported, then you gotta look up “How to add X launcher games to steam”.

Yet another Steam Deck settings guide (30fps)
I unfortunately haven't used steam rom manager before. I'll take a look into it if I get some spare time today and update this comment with how to do it. I use an app called BoilR to add my non-steam games and download artwork for them. You can read about it on it's GitHub page. It may be a bit more technical but I like it better since it adds the emulators rather than the games. This so I don't have my steam library filled with duplicates of my games between yuzu stable and yuzu-ea, if that makes sense.

How do I add artwork to a Non-Steam Remote Play game in my Steam library?
You could try BoilR, which is what I use to add non-Steam games to the Steam UI. If you supply a SteamGridDB API key then it will let you specify multiple types of images for each game.
-
I made a script to install all of your Non Steam Game Launchers on the Steam Deck (Epic,GOG, Battle.net,Origin and Ubisoft. Any help to get this on Decky Loader would be helpful as well as any help to add to this script to make it better.
This is not a trick question, I’m genuinely curious: why would I go for this solution rather than something like Heroic/Lutris + BoilR, which adds the individual games directly into Steam and bypasses the launchers?
