Thanks for all the encourage we got from the Linux community! So, here's the changelog and a few Screenshots: * Completely changed the design based on the UX research we did * Added Global and per Game Settings‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­page to configure default wine (or proton), wine prefix, and launch options. * Option to install the game on a default path(configurable), custom path, or import an already installed game. * No need for Xterm anymore, all installation feedback is on the installation page now. * Login screen redone * Better menus for log out and refresh library * Option to filter only installed games. * Possibility to stop the installation * Possibility to stop a running game * Added Game description * Several bugfixes * Heroic creates a default config folder in $HOME/.config/heroic/config.json * Both Game configs and Launch logs are saved for the debugging process in the config folder /GamesConfig ​ https://preview.redd.it/fvf8t9kb6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fca45b4b0daf31e1ba9474fbaadfa4ff1599a7c https://preview.redd.it/9bwn88jc6ca61.png?width=1447&format=png&auto=webp&s=c646e878b1a4d15283830f0d3cb7088c19cab93a https://preview.redd.it/pas5p7rd6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8583da2d3d8c9efdf1b4a4b434c87816913e3f7 https://preview.redd.it/fla5od3f6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba416573456f66c94ff6741eec3ca1c3c9e29aed https://preview.redd.it/rd9a0ovf6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa7cd7787b151e8747ffa2ac30e8283e7d3c2a63 https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases

https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher you can kinda yeet official EGS with this

Do you need egs? Have you tried https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher

I gave up trying to get it to work via Lutris. I think your best bet is to use Heroic Games Launcher (a native Linux third party app for downloading your Epic Games Store games).

Also all Blizzard games work perfectly in linux since improvements around 1-2 years ago, and there is now a native epic games launcher where lots of non-steam games work. People have also gotten Battlefront 2 and similar Origin games working, but I don't have much experience with that.

Is this the epic replacement you're referring to? I haven't heard of this before. I've been running epic games through proton and it's a bit of a PITA. would be nice to have a more seamless experience.

Did you check the git for installation or possible fixes for using custom wine?

Well if you owned rocket league before the epic games takeover then you can still play on steam. Also maybe check out Heroic for a native Linux EGS client

There is actually a Wine-like transplier called Darling. The problem is that development is very slow because there is not as much need for MacOS programs on Linux, and there is a huge shortage of volunteers and manpower. And it has been rendered almost obsolete because Apple moved to ARM. Additionally 90% of Apple's API is closed source despite Apple claiming to champion open source.

Unfortunately not. Darling [0] is still at the point that it can only run command line applications. Only the most basic GUI applications are supported. That's still a massive accomplishment that I don't want to diminish, but it's nowhere near the point that WINE was at even quite a long time ago.

xcodebuild CLI to compile iOS apps without a Mac. Seems possible in theory, although there's an ongoing issue some are seeing apparently: https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/issues/488

I wonder if there's opportunity for overlap with darling (https://www.darlinghq.org/) here, somewhat like using WINE on top of actual Windows.

Hi guys, just wanted to make a quick shoutout to Darling since not a lot people seem to know about it, which is a compatibility layer like Wine for Linux, but it allows for MacOS applications instead of Windows apps to be able to run on Linux!
