epic games on lutris doesn't work (with debug options)
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).

Very accurate...
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.

Looking to make the switch from Windows 10 to Linux. A few general questions...
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.

Installing custom lutris-wine or steam proton version inside the heroic game launcher.
Did you check the git for installation or possible fixes for using custom wine?

Klei Entertainment sold out; Tencent now majority shareholder
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

I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
- KDE/wayland
> That said, these things work flawlessly on the Deck.
Likely due to running into these graphics driver -> WM and similar compatibility issues and fixing them. The other performance improvements from kernel changes probably don't hurt either.
