[Epic Games] Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (Free/100%)
Personally I use legendary which is basically just a super-lightweight commandline launcher that also handles stuff like setting up wine if running on linux. But if you don't want quite that bare-bones, there's also a couple of GUI wrappers: rare is a fairly lightweight native app that feels pretty snappy, though it can be a bit unpolished in places, and heroic, which is an electron app and so a bit more heavyweight. but more of a direct drop-in replacement.

Mullvad in GTA Online
There's also a 3rd-party Epic client Legendary which has a couple of GUIs like Rare and Heroic, which may work differently with mullvad's split-tunnel.

An Epic Failure (Epic Games Launcher issues from my perspective)
Legendary, Rare and Heroic are good alternatives.

Just gonna leave this here
Also if you don't want to use cmd commands you can find some tools that give you a simple interface, I made one for windows and there is another one called rare that supports windows and linux.

An actual fix for the insanely slow download/update speeds of Epic Games Launcher (Re-uploaded)
Alternatively, you can use another launcher. This is what I do and have zero download issues. https://github.com/derrod/legendary https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare

Easy Anti-Cheat not as simple as expected for Proton and Steam Deck
Ah, yeah the software and software support is miles better. Epic Games Store is frankly poorly made software. I thus recommend everyone who wishes to run it to instead run Heroic or Rare instead, regardless of OS.

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.
